$^{28} S i$ $""^28Si$

Explanation:

If there are 14 protons, then, $Z$ $Z$ , the atomic number is $14$ $14$ . Why? Because $Z$ $Z$ is by definition the number of positively charged, massive nuclear particles. And $Z$ $Z$ defines the identity of the atom; if $Z = 14$ $Z=14$ , we gots $silicon........$ $"silicon........"$

Because the element may contain more or less NEUTRONS than $Z$ $Z$ , where neutrons are massive, neutrally charged, nuclear particles, the isotope is $^{28} S i$ $""^28Si$ , about $92.2 %$ $92.2%$ abundant.
