(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The processes of atmospheric and industrial fixation with high energy requirement have to be explained.
Concept introduction:
- The elemental nitrogen can be converted into organic ammonia with the help of lightining, bacteria etc in a process known as nitrogen fixation.
