Q.No.200: - What information about the structure of the nitrogen atom can be obtained from its nuclide 714N? In what way atom in 714N is different from the atom in 716N?

Q.No.200: - What information about the structure of the nitrogen atom can be obtained from its nuclide ₇¹⁴N? In what way atom in ₇¹⁴N is different from the atom in ₇¹⁶N?

Ans: -  

             ₇¹⁴N (Nitrogen): -

          Number of electrons          =         7

          Number of protons             =         7

          Number of neutrons           =    mass no - atomic no

          Number of neutrons           =     14 -7 = 7

          ₇¹⁶N (Nitrogen Isotope)

          Number of electrons          =         7

          Number of protons             =         7

          Number of neutrons           =    mass no – atomic no

          Number of neutrons           =         16 – 7 = 9
