To find the number of neutrons, all you need to do is round the atomic weight to the nearest whole number. The atomic weight of nitrogen is 14.007, or about 14. The atomic weight is basically the average number of particles in an atom's nucleus. What particles are located in the nucleus?? The protons and the neutrons. So, all you have to do is subtract the number of protons from the atomic weight and you get the neutrons!!

HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT:

Nitrogen's atomic # = 7

Nitrogen's atomic mass = 14

Neutrons + Protons = Atomic Mass so... 14-7=7

The number of neutrons is 7.
