Nitrogen (N₂) is slightly heavier than air. The molecular weight of nitrogen (N₂) is about 28.02 grams per mole, while the average molecular weight of air is about 28.97 grams per mole. Nitrogen constitutes about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, making it the most abundant gas in the air. So, air is a mixture of various gases including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others, but since nitrogen is the predominant component, air can be considered slightly lighter than pure nitrogen.
