The difference between these two atoms is in the number of neutrons, and this coincides with the definition of isotopy.

Nitrogen 14 (14N) is the isotope of nitrogen whose nucleus consists of 7 protons and 7 neutrons. It is one of two stable isotopes of nitrogen, and accounts for 99.636% of the nitrogen present on Earth.

Nitrogen (15N) is the nitrogen isotope whose nucleus consists of 7 protons and 8 neutrons. It is the second of two stable isotopes of nitrogen, and represents 0.364% of the nitrogen present on Earth.

The number indicates the mass number of the atoms of the element. 15N, therefore, is heavier than 14N. Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. While 14N has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, 15N has 7 protons and 8 neutrons.

Describe two ways that people contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance.
frosja888 [35]
People contribute to <span>antibiotic resistance by not completing their full course of antibiotics as prescribed by doctors when they are sick. This allows the bacteria to adapt to the antibiotic because the incomplete treatment did not kill the bacteria. Another way in which bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics is the widespread use of antibiotics in everyday consumer products, such as cleaners and beauty products. These antibiotics end up in the environment, and diluted exposure to these antibiotics by bacteria allows the bacteria to develop a resistance.   </span>
