Answer: Nitrogen fixation is a process by which molecular nitrogen in the air is converted into ammonia (NH₃) or related nitrogenous compounds in soil. Atmospheric nitrogen is molecular dinitrogen, a relatively unreactive molecule that is metabolically useless to all but a few microorganisms. Biological nitrogen fixation converts N₂ into ammonia, which is metabolized by most organisms.

It is, “the chemical processes by which atmospheric nitrogen is assimilated into organic compounds, especially by certain microorganisms as part of the nitrogen cycle.” :)
