As 1 atom of 14C contains = 14-6= 8\ neutrons.

and the number of atoms in 14C in 1 mole is 6.022\times10^{23} atoms.

Therefore, the number of neutrons in 14g of 14C in 1 mole =8\times 6.022\times10^{23}\ neutrons.

The number of neutrons in 7mg:

= \left ( \frac{8\times6.022\times10^{23}\times7}{14000}\right )

= 2.4088\times10^{21}\ neutrons.
