The answer is; Heavy nuclei split into lighter nuclei


Heavier isotopes of elements are the most unstable and decay quickly into lighter elements (mostly because they have  high neutron to proton ratio). The decay involves the splitting of the heavier atom into a lighter atom and the release of neutron(s) particles and radiation energy. The released neutrons then hit another isotope and split it. This chain of reaction continues so far as the isotopes are close by. The time it takes for a radioactive element to decay into another element is called half-life.

Nitrogen ​gas is more abundant in our atmosphere than oxygen! However, nitrogen needs to be converted into different forms to be
Pavlova-9 [17]

Explanation:

(A)role of nittogen fixing bacteria

=Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.

B)role of nitrifying bacteria

=Nitrifying bacteria convert the most reduced form of soil nitrogen, ammonia, into its most oxidized form, nitrate. In itself, this is important for soil ecosystem function, in controlling losses of soil nitrogen through leaching and denitrification of nitrate.

C)role of denitrifying bacteria

=Denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates back to nitrogen gas.
