Answer 1

Seven electrons. The atomic number of a element is also the amount of protons and electrons it has.

Answer 2

As atomic Number is number of protons Or number of electrons so
N has 7 electrons
Neutrons= Mass no.- Atomic Number
= 14-7
N has 7 neutrons
N doesn’t have 7 electron shells because shell 1 can hold 2 electrons and shell 2 can hold 8 electrons
It doesn’t have 23 neutrons and 14 electrons

So, Seven Electrons and seven neutrons is correct
