Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using information found on the Periodic Table of Elements:

Nitrogen contains 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons.

..

Atomic number is 7

Atomic mass is 14

The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

=> You can subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons.
