Well, the number or protons equals the number of electrons, the rest of the mass has to come from neutrons. There are 3 electrons in the outermost orbital

The atomic number of nitrogen is always 7 no matter what. The number of protons is always the atomic number, so 7.
protons + neutrons = mass number.
neutrons = mass number - protons
nuetrons = 14-7 = 7 neutrons.
There should be 3 electrons in the outer most orbittal.

The atomic number is how many protons it has. The neutrons will be obvious when you know the mass number and the number of protons. Consider the question: if it is a neutral atom....most are, how many electrons would go with how many protons...The outer most orbital is a discussion of the vsepr
