A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley oscillator. In the Colpitts circuit, two capacitors and one inductor determine the frequency of oscillation. The feedback needed for oscillation is taken from a voltage divider made by the two capacitors, where in the Hartley circuit the feedback is taken from a voltage divider made by two inductors (or a tapped single inductor). (Note: the capacitor can be a variable device by using a varactor). Oscillation frequency The ideal frequency of oscillation for the circuit is given by the equation: where the series combination of C1 and C2 creates the effective capacitance of the LC tank. Real circuits will oscillate at a slightly lower frequency due to junction capacitances of the transistor and possibly other stray capacitances
advantages over what? Colpitts? Mostly the fact that it does not require a choke. A Hartley is more harmonic-rich than a Colpitts, so the main reason it is used lies in its (relative) ease of construction.
for radio frequnency ... and audio frequency. I have a Colpitts oscillator on a small piece of Veroboard 3/4"x 1/2"mounted on the terminals of a standard telephone earpiece. It uses the earpiece itslef as the inductor. The nominal impedance of the earpiece is about 300 ohms. With capacitors of 1μF and 0.47μF it oscillates at about 2kHz.
A Wein Bridge Oscillator is a oscillator which is used for the measurement of Audio Frequency.
A transistor is often referred to as an oscillator because of its ability to transfer resistance. it can also switch off and on repeatedly, mimicking an oscillator.
The difference between an RC and LC is that the frequency - determining device in the RC oscillator is not a tank circuit. LC can operate with A or C biasing, while RC can only operate with A.

colpitts oscillator has two coils in series and one capacitor in parallel. hartley oscillator has one capacitor and one coil in parallel
1.CE amplifier circuit 2.LC oscillator circuit
whatever works at the desired operating frequency
No because hartley uses inductors which are bulky and economically not feasible to obtain tuning inductors as compared to colpitt's which uses capacitors which are relatively very cheap and small.
An oscillator has a tuned circuit (inductance+capacitance) to determine the frequency. When the inductor is tapped to give the required phase-shift for oscillation it is a Hartley oscillator. When the capacitance is tapped it is a Colpitts.
