The number of neutrons has no influence on the number of the atomic number. Only protons do, and they only change in nuclear chemistry.
Atoms with nuclei that contain the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are known as isotopes. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, both having six protons but differing in neutron count. This variation in neutron number can affect the stability and radioactive properties of the isotopes. Isotopes play significant roles in fields such as nuclear medicine, archaeology, and environmental science.
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron
No, carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 are not different elements; they are isotopes of the same element, carbon. They all have the same number of protons (6), which defines them as carbon, but they differ in the number of neutrons—carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, carbon-13 has 7, and carbon-14 has 8. This variation in neutron number results in different atomic masses and some differing properties, particularly in terms of stability and radioactivity.
If carbon-14 gained 1 proton, it would become nitrogen-14. This change in atomic number would make the atom of nitrogen chemically different from carbon. Losing 1 neutron would not significantly affect its stability or radioactivity.
carbon has 12 neucleons and 6 protons so it has 12- 6= 6 neutrons

Carbon does not have an atomic number of 14.
6 which is Carbon
The number of neutrons has no influence on the number of the atomic number. Only protons do, and they only change in nuclear chemistry.
The isotope number and the atomic number can be used to calculate the number of neutrons. Consider carbon-14. The atomic number for carbon is 6 (i.e., the number of protons is 6). The isotope number of carbon-14 (i.e., 14 = protons + neutrons). Subtract the atomic number from the isotope number calculate the number of neutrons (8 for carbon-14).
Adding a neutron to a carbon-12 atom would result in the creation of a carbon-13 atom. This would increase the atomic mass of the carbon atom by one unit while retaining its chemical properties as a carbon element.
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
Carbon-7 is a theoretical isotope that does not actually exist. But if it DID exist, it would have one neutron, because the mass number of any isotope = protons + neutrons, and all carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore C-7 would have 6 protons and one neutron.

You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
