The atom probably has 8 neutrons in the nucleus.

Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

N(p⁺) = Z = 7; number of protons in the atom

A = N(p⁺) + N(n°)

N(n°) =  A -  N(p⁺)

N(n°) = 15 - 7

N(n°) = 8; number of neutrons in the atom

N(e-) = N(p⁺) = 7; number of electrons in the atom

Neutron (symbol: n°) is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge.

Protons and neutrons are found in nucleus of an atom (atomic nuclei).
