Answer:

Compared to Oxygen, Nitrogen is 4 times as abundant in the atmosphere. Here is why Nitrogen is more abundant in the atmosphere:

Of course, we must also consider the relative abundances of Oxygen and Nitrogen over the entire Earth (oxygen is about 10,000 times more abundant).  Oxygen is a major component of the solid earth, along with Si and elements such as Mg, Ca and Na. Nitrogen is not stable as a part of a crystal lattice, so it is not incorporated into the solid Earth, so it is not incorporated into the solid Earth. This is one reason why nitrogen is so enriched in the atmosphere relative to oxygen. The other primary reason is that, unlike oxygen, nitrogen is very stable in the atmosphere and is not involved to a great extent in chemical reactions that occur there. Thus, over geological time, it has built up in the atmosphere to a much greater extent than oxygen.

spayn [35]

The tightness with which a chemical attaches to a binding site is termed its affinity for that site, while the effectiveness of the binding chemical is termed its efficacy.

Affinity quantifies how well a medication binds to a receptor (or how well it "fits the lock").

The ability of a drug-bound receptor to induce a response (or "turn the key") is referred to as efficacy.

While antagonists only have affinity for the receptors and no (zero) effectiveness, agonists have both affinities and efficacy for the receptor.

Effectiveness governs what transpires after the medication has been attached to the receptor through affinity.

The affinity (potency) and/or efficacy of different medicines that bind to the same receptor and elicit the same type of response will often vary from one another.
