It is the 2nd member of nitrogen family, P, phosphorus with 15 protons, 15 electrons and 16 neutrons.
Phosphorus
silicon
The only element in nitrogen family with 16 neutrons is the element Phosphorus (symbol: P). However it is a solid at room temperature and not gas.
Phosphorus-31 is a member of the nitrogen family and is the single stable isotope of that element. It has 15 protons and 16 neutronsPhosphorus is a member of the nitrogen family with 16 neutrons.

Every nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. There are 7, 8 and 9 neutrons in nitrogen-14, nitrogen-15 and nitrogen-16 isotopes respectively.
Subtract the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass number 16. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7, therefore its atoms have 7 protons. The number of neutrons in the atoms of the isotope nitrogen-16 is 16 -7 = 9 neutrons.
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Atomic Mass of it is 14.
16 neutrons and 16 protons
N2, the common divalent form of nitrogen, does have the same number of protons and electrons as carbon monoxide. If both nitrogen atoms are nitrogen-14, the carbon atom is carbon-12, and the oxygen atom is oxygen-16, diatomic nitrogen also has the same number of neutrons as CO. Contrary to the fact for atoms, however, molecules with the same numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons do not always have the same chemical properties.
