The isotopic ratio N/N-15 is considered in terms of its temporal and spatial behavior in the Galaxy by examining a model of Galactic chemical evolution. The model predicts that since the epoch of the formation of the solar system, N/N-15 has decreased by a factor of about 1.8, and that the gradient of N/N-15 is about +6.8/Kpc along the Galactic disk. The observational constraints given by the model are theorized to be of value to future theoretical work because the model scenario is self-consistent.
