The number of protons is determined by the atomic number, which is 14 in this case as indicated by the superscript. Therefore, there are 14 protons in this isotope.
The number of neutrons is determined by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. The mass number is indicated by the superscript and is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons. In this case, the mass number is 28, and the atomic number is 14. Thus, there are (28 - 14) = 14 neutrons in this isotope.
The number of electrons is typically equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom; therefore, in this case, there are also 14 electrons.
