Be happy it is mostly Nitrogen. Too much oxygen would kill you (and us all). |
Yeah...too many free radicals, more intensive chemical reactions, crazy corrotion, crazy explosions, unchokable flames...not pretty^^

From what I've seen it contaminates the ground water, by letting the gases escape into it. |
It needs expensive equipment and trained people to do this. So it is a huge help for the economy ... if the government funds it.

Might as well invest in renewables then if fracking is expensive, gas won't last forever and that way we won't contaminate the water or scar the land with holes everywhere

it's german for nitrogen and some of our german speaking users seem to not be familiar with the english term for that element/molecule, although in the periodic table it has the letter N, so that could have been a hint |
Gold has the element name 'AU' for Aurum. The names in the periodic table aren't based on english.

Aren't they still caused by the interaction between (slightly) positively and negatively charged atoms, thus a chemical bond? |
No, they are not. It is called "Dipole-Dipole Interaction" for a reason. And even if they were, they are completely irrelevant for this problem. A reaction is only called a chemical reaction if the molecular structure of at least one of the involved substances changed.
The "reaction equation" of heating water would be:
H2O (l) -> H2O (g)
As you can see the structure of the water molecule does not change at all, q.e.d

Boiling water doesn't break haydrogen bonds. Boiling water is a physical reaction, not a chemical one. You simply add thermal energy to the mass of water. Boiling the water does not change the water molecules themselves in any way, thus it does not qualify as a chemical reaction. Sorry for the simple explanation, I'd be able to give a much better one in German. In English my terminology is a bit lacking^^ |
Hydrogen bond is "Wasserstoffbrückenbindung":

Hmm, your description seems fitting to what happens (I didn't really thought about it). Sounds like the typical description of hell. So we now know, hell simply has to much oxygen.

Ahaha, we already sorted this problem out. The translation I had was Hydrogen Bridge Bond and I somehow failed to make the connection...if you read the rest of the conversation you'll see this is the least problem I encountered trying to explain him boiling water is actually a physical reaction...
12/13... I blame my non-nativeness. First time I hear the word fracking. Other than that they were quite easy.

yea.. you know, I pointed that out myself in this very thread
english terms usually are very close to the latin ones (gold, silver and iron for example being notable exceptions), so I'm still convinced people could have deduced it's nitrogen (the only of the 4 options that started with an N) just from knowing that the element has the letter N in the periodic table - I'm sure all of those who had to look up the term did know N was used for "stickstoff"
