Ordinary nitrogen molecules freeze into a standard solid if you get them cold enough, about 63 K or -210 Celsius. There are countless nitrogen compounds (molecules which contain nitrogen and other elements) and these too generally freeze into solids. For example, the simple compound urea is solid at room temperature, and doesn’t melt until heated to 135 Celsius, above the boiling point of water.
