Nitrogen has two stable isotopes: Nitrogen-14 and Nitrogen-15. These occur because they have different amounts of neutrons within their nuclei.
Nitrogen is the 7th element in the periodic table so it has 7 Protons and an equal number of electrons (7!). Since the mass number given is 14 then number of neutrons = 14 ( - 7 (number of protons) = 7
