Nitrogen isotope of nitrogen are used as tracers in agricultural studies (efficiency of fertilizers), leaks detection in nuclear reactors, etc.
The element Q doesn't exist.
They have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus.
Most common is nitrogen.
Nitrogen-14 has 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 7 neutrons. Nitrogen-15 has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 8 neutrons. So, the only way they differ is in the NUMBER OF NEUTRONS.
The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses.
These isotopes have a different number of neutrons.
The element Q doesn't exist.
B. Isotopes of Nitrogen. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. In this case, the resulting atoms will be isotopes of nitrogen because they have gained neutrons.
No, they are isotopes with the same atomic mass. But they are isotopes of different elements and so are very different from on another. For example nitrogen-16 and nitrogen-14 are isotopes of the same element.
They have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus.
Carbon and nitrogen isotopes are not isotopes of each other. They are different elements with their own set of isotopes. Carbon isotopes include carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14, while nitrogen isotopes include nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15.
The ratio of isotopes are constant throughout the universe. In any random sample of any element, there will be a consistent ratio of isotopes of that element. This is what makes radiocarbon dating of ancient organic material possible.

The natural isotopes of nitrogen are stable; for the synthetic radioactive isotopes of nirogen see the link below.
No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.
