The atomic number of ANY element is the number of protons in the nucleus. ANY NEUTRAL atom (and I assume this one is neutral) contains the same number of electrons as protons. And how many electrons are there?

As a side note,
mass number = #protons + # neutrons.
If mass number is 14 and atomic number is ???, then how many neutrons are there?
