They both have the same amount. NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) has one Nitrogen atom. NO (Nitrogen Monoxide) also has one Nitrogen atom. However, nitrogen monoxide has a higher % nitrogen in the molecule both by mole % and weight %.

∙ 12y agoYes, nitrogen is bigger because we know that the periodic trend for atomic radius increases from right to left, top to bottom of the Periodic Table.
This size difference can be explained by the density of the atom due to the attraction between electrons in the electron cloud and the protons in the nucleus.
The less the electrons, hence moving from right to left, the less of an attraction there is with the nucleus. If the outward layer of the atom isn't being pulled toward the nucleus as much, naturally the atom will remain bigger.

Why in a water molecule is the oxygen atom bigger then the nitrogen atom?
First of all, there is no nitrogen in a water molecule. A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms. Also known as H2O. However, it is also true that an oxygen atom is slightly bigger than a nitrogen atom. Oxygen has one more proton, and one more electron than nitrogen does. Neutron quantities vary, since there is more than one isotope of both oxygen and nitrogen.
Does oxygen effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen?
No, nitrogen effuse faster than oxygen.
When the nucleus of a nitrogen atom absorbs a proton the resulting element is?
Oxygen, the element with an atomic number higher by one than that of nitrogen.
Is nitrogen more reactive than oxygen?
No, oxygen is the more reactive element!
Will nitrogen and oxygen be identical?
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.

Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Does oxygen effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen?
No, nitrogen effuse faster than oxygen.
How many Time more nitrogen than oxygen make up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).

How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
Is nitrogen heavier than oxygen?
it is heavier
Why does the nitrogen gas has higher amount than that of oxygen gas?
bcoz oxygen is used by living beings were nitrogen is not used.
When the nucleus of a nitrogen atom absorbs a proton the resulting element is?
Oxygen, the element with an atomic number higher by one than that of nitrogen.
What 4 elements account for more than 95 percent of the human body?
carbonnitrogenoxygenhydrogen
Is nitrogen more reactive than oxygen?
No, oxygen is the more reactive element!
