The most common isotope has 7 neutrons.
To calculate this, look up the element on a Periodic Table, subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight, and round to the nearest whole number. Nitrogen, for example, has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic weight of 14.006. 14.006 - 7 = 7.006, which rounds to seven. Most of the low numbered elements have a number of neutrons equal to their atomic number, but the ratio starts to vary in the heavy elements.

How many subatomic particles are in nitrogen?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons in its nucleus and 7 electrons in orbitals around the nucleus.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a bromine atom?
The Bromine atom contains: 35 protons, 35 electrons, and 45 neutrons.
What is the atomic number of nitrogen -14?
14 (mass number) - 7 (number of protons) = 7 (number of neutrons)
What is the name of an atom that has 3 protons 4 neutrons?
This is an easy problem to solve if you have a Periodic Table of Elements.# protons + # neutrons = atomic number3 + 4 = 7The element with the atomic number 7 is Nitrogen.
What happens when oxygen gains electrons?
The "atomic number" of an element is the number of protons in its atoms. The number of neutrons may be different, creating "isotopes" of the element. Altering the number of protons in an atom changes it to a different element. Since oxygen atoms contain 8 protons, losing one would create an atom of NITROGEN, containing 7 protons. Isotopes are listed by the "mass number", which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom of oxygen would normally be oxygen-16, with 8 protons and 8 neutrons. Losing one proton from this atom would create NITROGEN-15, a stable isotope of nitrogen with 7 protons and 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons are in a nitrogen-14 atom?
7 neutrons in Nitrogen 14
How many neutrons in a nitrogen atom?

How many neutrons does an atom of nitrogen have if the mass number is 13?
6 neutrons
How many netrons are in a nitrogen atom?
In a nitrogen-14 atom, there are 7 neutrons, where the isotopes with mass numbers with 13 and 15, have 6 and 8 neutrons respectively.
How many neutrons are in a neutral atom of nitrogen-14?
no electrons
How many neutrons are in a nitrogen ion?
N-14 is the most common isotope of nitrogen atom and it has 7 protons, 7 neutrons
How many neutrons electrons does nitrogen have?
Every nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. There are 7, 8 and 9 neutrons in nitrogen-14, nitrogen-15 and nitrogen-16 isotopes respectively.
How many neutrons protons and electrons does a neutral atom of nitrogen- 14?
7 protons, 7 electrons and 8 neutrons
How many neutrons can be found in an atom of nitrogen?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element For the most important natural stable isotope of nitrogen - 14N - the number of neutrons is 7.
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.
How does nitrogen radioactive differ from a stable atom?
Chemically there is no difference between radioactive nitrogen and stable nitrogen. Both will react the exact same way in all chemical reactions. The only difference between the two is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. This means the only difference is mass. If the nitrogen atom has too many neutrons, it will most likely give off a beta particle. The beta particle shoots out from one of its neutrons. That neutron then becomes a proton and the nitrogen becomes oxygen. If the nitrogen atom has too few neutrons, a proton in its nucleus may capture one of its own electrons and turn into a neutron. This would then turn the nitrogen atom into a carbon atom.
How many neutrons does nitrogen have?
Nitrogen has 7 neutrons.
