Question

edit

This is a Q that actually applied to all similar chemistry-related Infoboxes.

Some express density as g/cm3 (liquid), and others as ([temp] °C, [pressure] kPa) g/L (gas).

Is this difference intentional, due to the difference in natural state? Accidental, based on differences in source material? Necessary? Important enough to even worry about?

It does make comparisons between two or more items more difficult.

[edit] OK, let's ignore this one. I did a more thorough examination of the format, by looking at more similar pages (something I should have done first!), and I see that they are consistent within the different states. Emily Litella strikes once again. (talk) 19:16, 19 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please change CAS number in summary box on right side for page from 17778-88-0 to 7727-37-9. The current number provided in incorrect. For a reference for the suggested change see: CAS number should be: 7727-37-9, Reference for CAS number change: http://www.caslab.com/Nitrogen.php5 130.102.82.171 (talk) 02:51, 11 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Corrected; thank you! The number previously given was for monatomic nitrogen, but I agree that we should give the number for the elements in their standard allotropes at STP. Double sharp (talk) 03:42, 11 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

The citation for density of nitrogen has an error in the URL. Change:

ref=<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/gas-density-d_158.html0|title=Gases - Density |website=The Engineering Toolbox|accessdate=27 January 2019}}</ref>

to

ref=<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/gas-density-d_158.html|title=Gases - Density |website=The Engineering Toolbox|accessdate=27 January 2019}}</ref>

The url ends in "html0" which results in a 404 when accessed. The URL should be corrected to end in "html" 120.156.233.39 (talk) 15:08, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Done. Thanks for the report. -DePiep (talk) 15:55, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Image caption and alt text

It is not obvious what the image represents, please add descriptive caption and alt text. Thanks, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 06:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Done (in {{Infobox element/symbol-to-top-image}}). Please check. Thanks for the report. DePiep (talk) 07:11, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

N-16 isotope

edit

N-16 is a very important isotope in nuclear reactors. I'm surprised it's not mentioned as a main isotope in the nitrogen article. Although it's half-life is short (about 2-sec), it emits a high energy gamma warranting significant precautions and shielding from the reactor coolant. It is formed by neutron activation of O-16 in the water cooling the reactor. JASloan (talk) 04:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Having its own paragraph in Nitrogen#Isotopes, 16N is surely a main isotope. I’ve added it to the list of main isotopes. Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 11:59, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
