Answer: 7 neutrons

Explanation: Atomic number refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. Also you can treat atomic mass as how many particles (protons and neutrons) are in the nucleus of the atom. So for this problem:

14 particles - 7 protons = 7 neutrons (and we know all that's left over is neutrons because we subtracted all the protons)
