C-13 has an atomic number of 6 and an Atomic Mass of 13, therefore it has 13-6 neutrons = 7. C-14 therefore has 8 neutrons. N-14 has an atomic mass of 14 and an atomic number of 7, so its number of neutrons is 7. 8>7, so Carbon 14 has the largest number of neutrons.
Nitrogen14, has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 7 neutrons.
I'm almost positive the protons always tell you the identification of an element on the periodic chart... the atom with 6 protons is Carbon a non metal but if electrons are 5 then it must be carbon cation C+.

This is not an atom, but a non-existing Carbon anion (-1, negatively charged)
The nucleus of an atom is the densest part of an atom. It contains the protons and neutrons of an atom.
there are 7 neutrons, 7 protons, and....----electrons
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
It has the same number of protons and electrons, but two more neutrons.
Nitrogen14, has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 7 neutrons.
A radioactive isotope is a form of an element that is unstable and eventually decays into a different element. For example, most Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and is stable. This is called Carbon12.Carbon14 with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, is unstable and decays by releasing a beta particle from its nucleus to become a stable isotope, Nitrogen14. which has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.That refers to an isotope that is unstable - the atoms will decay after a while.
Cosmic rays bombard the upper atmosphere (see Carbon 14 wiki): "Carbon-14 is produced in the upper layers of the troposphere and the stratosphere by thermal neutrons absorbed by nitrogen atoms. When cosmic rays enter the atmosphere, they undergo various transformations, including the production of neutrons. The resulting neutrons (1n) participate in the following reaction: : 1n + 14N → 14C + 1H"
As an example, take Americium 241 - 241 is the atomic weight. It is Atomic number 95 in the periodic table and so there are 95 protons. There are thus 241 -95 = 146 neutrons. That principle applies to all the elements.
electrons are the lightest then protons then neutrons

You can't. You can narrow it down a bit---most stable elements have a neutron-to-proton ratio of between 1.5:1 and 1:1 (depending on size). So if you know how many neutrons an element has you can make an educated guess as to approximately how many protons it will have. However, it is impossible to know exactly how many protons an element has based on its number of neutrons, and since the number of protons determines the element's identity, you cannot learn an element's identity from its number of neutrons. For example---all of the following isotopes can be formed with 7 neutrons, with stable ones bolded and underlined: He-9, Li-10, Be-11, B-12, C-13, N-14, O-15, F-16, Ne-17, Na-18, and Mg-19.
