How are herbivores involved in the nitrogen cycle?

Herbivores can directly increase nitrogen mobility by increasing the quality of organic matter entering the decomposition cycle, but they also may decrease nitrogen mobility by decreasing the biomass of high-nitrogen species in the plant community.

What is the charge of nitrogen-15?

There is no charge. Nitrogen-15 is an isotope, which refers to the number of neutrons. Neutrons do not have a charge.

How many neutrons and protons are in an nitrogen atom?

There are 7 electrons in the stable variation of Nitrogen (the only time nitrogen isn't 7 electrons is when it is an ion, then it has 10 electrons). To find the amount of neutrons, you take the average atomic mass (14.007) and subtract the amount of protons (which is the same as the atomic number in an element, so 7) 14.007-7=7.007, 7.007 is the average amount of neutrons. There are different isotopes (atoms with different numbers of neutrons) however, the most common is 7 neutrons, but there is a Nitrogen atom with 8 neutrons, and there are more variations of isotopes that change the average amount of neutrons.


How many neutrons electrons does nitrogen have?

Every nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. There are 7, 8 and 9 neutrons in nitrogen-14, nitrogen-15 and nitrogen-16 isotopes respectively.
