Template talk:Infobox nitrogen

Question

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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

N-16 isotope

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)

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)
