Neon is an element that has 10 electrons, 10 protons, and most of the time has 10 neutrons in each neon atom.  Nitrogen is an element that has 7 electrons, 7 protons, and most often has 7 neutrons in each nitrogen atom.  So the Bohr model of a neon atom would be slightly larger than a nitrogen atom.
