Lithium's atomic number is 6. However, lithium has isotopes whose atomic numbers vary from 4 to 12. A lithium atom contains three protons. Hence (assuming my arithmetic is correct), the number of neutrons in a lithium atom may vary from one to eleven. The stable isotopes are 6 and 7, the latter being the most abundant. Please see the link.

How many neutrons does the nucleus of a nitrogen atom contain?

there are 7 neutrons because when you take away the number of protons, which is 7 as well, from the atomic mass, which is 14 when rounded, you get 7 which is the number of neutrons in nitrogen.
