Yes, but it is a mechanical explosion and not a chemical one. The pressure of the gas cause the gas to store mechanical energy. And if circumstances permit, like a weakening to failure of a compressed gas cylinder with high pressure nitrogen in it, there will be a mechanical explosion. Such things have been known to occur - with catastrophic results. Nitrogen will not burn in the conventional sense, so it won't explode like, say, hydrogen.
Oxygen can be compressed and using a diving situation either in a mix with other gases such as in normal air or special mixes i.e. Trimix, Nitrox etc. Or it could be compressed and used on its own. Compressed oxygen on its own is usually only used in rebreathers where the exhaled gas is reoxygenated.
In short, oxygen can be compressed on its own or with other gases for use in Scuba diving
Oxygen no, the cylinder yes if is damaged or heated.
Nitrogen is a gas that can be compressed. Not all nitrogen is compressed, for example the nitrogen in the air we breath is at atmospheric pressure.
Liquid Nitrogen in a water bottle will explode because of pressure build up. Liquid nitrogen vaporizes rather quickly and when it transitions from liquid to gas, the pressure increases if kept at the same volume. Think of boiling water in a closed container. It is similar to that but liquid nitrogen evaporates at much lower temperature, it will explode at room temperature. Let's say you submerged this water bottle below the boiling point of liquid nitrogen and put liquid nitrogen in the bottle, the bottle will not explode. It is a mechanical explosion (simple transfer of forces) not a chemical explosion like with hydrogen where hydrogen gas ignites.

No. An explosion requires the sudden expansion of gas in a compressed volume; a tornado simply tears the parts off a house with its powerful winds and flying debris.
Nitrogen is a gas that can be compressed. Not all nitrogen is compressed, for example the nitrogen in the air we breath is at atmospheric pressure.
Yes, nitrogen does infact explode
Nitrogen is a gas that can be compressed. Not all nitrogen is compressed, for example the nitrogen in the air we breath is at atmospheric pressure.
no. Compressed nitrogen need not be insulated. Liquid nitrogen is always insulated. Typically compressed nitrogen is stored at high pressure(over 1000 psi) and liquid nitrogen is kept at less than 100 psi.
Compressed air or compressed nitrogen.
~nitrogen~it makes bombs explode~nitrogen~it puts you in the mode
Yes, very easily.
Because nitrogen will block oxygen and prevent combustion.
Inert gases, such as argon, helium, neon and nitrogen, are not toxic and do not burn or explode.
yes bar is a measure of pressure which doesnt change for different gases
yes
Yes, when cooled down below triple point
