Abstract:

This paper discusses the stability of the nitrogen molecule based on the chemical bond, and then introduces researches related to the nitrogen chemical bond activation from the industrial ammonia synthesis. The authors desire to explore a new approach for teaching elemental chemistry. The aim is to lead students to study and use the knowledge to learn the natural world, and improve the ability to analyze and solve problems.

Key words: Ammonia synthesis, Nitrogenase, Nitrogen complex, Teaching method
