Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

We call these different isotopes of nitrogen. There are always 7 protons because the nucleus is always a nitrogen nucleus (Z=7). Since different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons (but always the same number of protons) they have different mass numbers.
