  • There are two stable isotopes of nitrogen: 14N and 15N. By far the most common is 14N (99.634%). Its atomic number is 7. Its density (at 0 °C, 101.325 K.Pa is 0.001251 g/cc
  • There are 25 known isotopes for sulfur, four of which are stable: 32S (95.02%), 33S (0.75%), 34S (4.21%), and 36S (0.02%). Its atomic number is 16. Its density ~ 2 g/cc

Accordingly nitrogen (N) is much lighter than sulfur (S)

YES. Nitrogen and sulfur are non metals.


What are likely to form an ionic bond magnesium and sulfur or nitrogen and oxygen?

Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
