Nitrogen has two isotopes, N-14 and N-15, both of which are used in various applications. N-15 is used for the production of the radioisotope O-15 which is used in PET. N-15 is also used to study the uptake of Nitrogen in plants and the metabolism of proteins in the human body. N-14 is used for the production of the PET radioisotope C-11. It can also be used for the production of the PET radioisotopes N-13 and O-15.

Naturally occurring isotopes

This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of nitrogen are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
14N 14.003 074 005 2(9) 99.632 (7) 1 0.4037607
15N 15.000 108 898 4(9) 0.368 (7) 1/2 -0.2831892
Isotope abundances of nitrogen
Isotope abundances of nitrogen. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.

Radiosotope data

Further data for naturally occuring isotopes of nitrogen are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of nitrogen, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
