Yes it is. It has Atomic Mass of 14 while oxygen has mass of 16

What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen. The atomic weight of nitrogen is approximately 14, while the atomic weight of oxygen is approximately 16.
Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
The air we breathe is mostly a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen in the air is four times greater than the amount of oxygen which of these two elements is the lighter?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen. Nitrogen gas (N2) has a molar mass of 28.02 g/mol, while oxygen gas (O2) has a molar mass of 32.00 g/mol. Since nitrogen is lighter, it makes up a larger portion of the atmosphere.
How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
Is there anything lighter than oxygen?
In fact there are seven elements lighter than oxygen: hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon and nitrogen.
Which is lighter oxygen helium or nitrogen?
Helium is the lightest of the three gases, with an atomic mass of 4 compared to 16 for oxygen and 14 for nitrogen.
What happens when water vapor is lighter than nitrogen or oxygen?
Water vapor is a gas so it is in the air. Nitrogen and nitrogen are in the air too, but there is more nitrogen than anything in the air. I believe it rises because it is lighter, like a balloon filled with helium.
Which element is heavier than carbon but lighter than oxygen?
If "heavier than" in the question is interpreted to mean "has an atomic mass greater than", the answer is nitrogen
Why is nitrogen heavier than air?
No. The atmosphere is roughly 80% N2, 20% O2, and about 1% of other trace gases. The molecular mass of N2 is about 28, the molecular mass of O2 is about 32. So, no O2 is not lighter than air, it is slightly heavier.
Which gas is heaviest nitrogen hydrogen or oxygen?
Nitrogen is heavier than hydrogen but lighter than oxygen. In terms of molecular weight, nitrogen has a molar mass of about 28 g/mol, oxygen has a molar mass of about 32 g/mol, and hydrogen has a molar mass of about 2 g/mol.
Does helium have smaller particles than nitrogen or oxygen?
Helium has smaller particles than nitrogen or oxygen. Helium atoms are smaller in size, as they have fewer protons and neutrons in their nucleus compared to nitrogen or oxygen atoms. This smaller size allows helium atoms to move more freely and escape into the atmosphere, which is why helium is a lighter gas.
What happens because water vapor molecules are lighter than nitrogen or oxygen molecules?
Water vapor molecules rise in the atmosphere, causing them to form clouds and ultimately precipitation. This is because lighter molecules have more kinetic energy and therefore move faster, allowing them to rise above the heavier nitrogen and oxygen molecules.
