 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Interesting facts/information ** || The English word nitrogen (1794) entered the language from the French nitrogène, coined in 1790 by French chemist [|Jean-Antoine Chaptal] (1756–1832), from "nitre" + Fr. gène "producing" (from Gk. -γενής means "forming" or "giving birth to."). The gas had been found in [|nitric acid] . Chaptal's meaning was that nitrogen gas is the essential part of nitric acid, in turn formed from saltpeter ( [|potassium nitrate] ), and then known as [|nitre] . This word in the more ancient world originally described sodium salts that did not contain nitrate, and is a cognate of [|natron] ||
