Neutrons are found in all atoms except for most atoms of nitrogen.?

Neutrons are indeed found in the nuclei of most atoms, including nitrogen; however, the most abundant isotope of nitrogen, nitrogen-14, contains seven neutrons. The statement may refer to the fact that the isotope nitrogen-13, which has only six neutrons, exists but is not stable and is less common. Overall, nitrogen typically has neutrons in its atomic structure.
