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)

Write in Plain English whenever possible

This article needed to be written in Plain English with minimal jargon in order to make it readable by the General Reader, and not just by physicists, chemists, nuclear engineers, and students thereof!98.81.7.165 (talk) 16:07, 20 November 2011 (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 ¹³
N
's role in the CNO cycle. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:04, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

A fact(?)

¹⁴
N 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

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was no consensus to merge. Discussion is stale with minimal participation, no prejudice against re-nomination. ^Complex/_Rational 14:42, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

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)
