Talk:Isotopes of nitrogen

comment

 * In the half-life column of the table above, what are the figures in parentheses? Plantsurfer (talk) 17:48, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Spin of Nitrogen-14?
In the article (under the nitrogen-15 section) it is claimed that nitrogen-14 is spin-zero. I thought the only spinless nuclei were those with even proton and neutron numbers, whereas nitrogen-14 is odd-odd. Other places seem to claim that it's spin-one, which makes more sense. If nitrogen-15 is the predominant isotope used for NMR, it's probaby because spin-half nuclei have simpler splitting patterns, which are easier to analyse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.185.74 (talk) 18:01, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

stable-isotope probing
Why does stable-isotope probing redirect here? SIP is not limited to N-15, it is commonly conducted with isotopes of H, C, O, and P as well. Shouldn't SIP have its own page? Civiello m (talk) 08:08, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

CNO cycle
This article doesn’t mention n|13n's role in the CNO cycle. – Laundry Pizza 03  ( d c&#x0304; ) 19:04, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

A fact(?)
nuclei are bosons, but the atoms are fermions due to the atoms having an odd number of fermions (number of bosons doesn't matter). Alfa-ketosav (talk) 16:40, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Half-life of Nitrogen-10
What is it? The first paragraph says "about 2.3 microseconds", the table says 200(140)×10−24 s, I can't find a reference for either value. Newystats (talk) 06:04, 2 February 2019 (UTC) Found it now - the 200 yoctosecond value is from Nubase http://amdc.in2p3.fr/web/nubase_en.html Newystats (talk) 22:27, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Merging from Nitrogen-13
Both articles contain content that would be better consolidated into a single article CrafterNova (talk) 11:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Disagreed; every element has a "Isotopies of [element]" page, as should Nitrogen. If the info there is a duplicate of another, I do not find merging a good idea, rather the information should be moved over and deleted from this page. KingisNitro (talk) 17:32, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

nitrogen-12 decay
I'd like to know more about N-12 decay -- particularly, why it can form a C-12 nucleus that is not stable (leading to a breakdown into 3 α particles, via Be-8 fission). This article describes the process but does not address why it goes that way -- and, unfortunately, a brief Google search gave no further help. Is there someone to whom I can address this question, please? Silverhill (talk) 20:42, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
