The nitrogen gas molecule is inorganic.
Organic molecules are compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen with specific bonding. Thus, while CO2 is not organic, CH2O is. By looking at your a nitrogen compound and seeing what other elements are present and how those elements are bound you can determine whether or not it is organic.

Is nitrogen dioxide inorganic or organic?
Organic compounds contain carbon atoms. Nitric acid (HNO3) contains no such carbon atoms, so it is inorganic.
What are two important inorganic compounds involved in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen gas and nitrate ions.
Who breaks the dead organisms body back into inorganic nitrogen?
Decomposers such as bacteria and fungi break down dead organisms' bodies into inorganic nitrogen through the process of decomposition. This results in the release of nitrogen back into the soil, where it can be taken up by plants for growth.
What way nitrogen compound differ from minerals?
Nitrogen compounds are organic molecules that contain nitrogen atoms, while minerals are inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure. Nitrogen compounds are essential for life and are found in living organisms, whereas minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances that form through geological processes.
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Because leguminous plants are those plants which have nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots in the modules of nitrogen. thus to fix the nitrogen to the soil or in crops is the work of those bacteria namely rhizobium and azotobacter thus without these plants we wont have these bacterias and alos the nitrogen
