The answer to this would be false.
<span>Nitrogen gas is converted to nitrate compounds by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soil turns nitrogen gas into root nodules. Nitrogen is the most commonly limiting nutrient in plants. Legumes use nitrogen fixing bacteria, specifically symbiotic rhizobia bacteria, within their root nodules to counter the limitation.</span>
A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.
There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.
The three factors determine the chemical properties of an element:

</span><span>The number of valence electrons
</span><span>The number and arrangement of electrons</span></span>
