It doesn't. Under natural conditions, carbon 14 generally forms from nitrogen 14. A high energy neutron from space strikes the nitrogen nucleus, causing it to eject a proton, ultimately forming a carbon 14 atom and hydrogen 1 atom. It can also occur via neutron capture by carbon 13. Currently there is an overabundance of carbon 14 in the atmosphere as a result of nuclear testing.

∙ 8y agocarbon 14 is a isotop of carbon 12.
The isotope carbon-12 has 6 neutrons; the isotope carbon-14 has 8 neutrons.
C-14 has 8 neutrons, while C-12 has 6
carbon 12 I think
Carbon-14 because it has 2 more neutrons.
carbon 14 is a isotop of carbon 12.
It becomes an isotope of carbon- carbon11. The atomic mass (A) decreases by one.
Carbon 14 and carbon 12
Carbon - 14 has two more electrons than carbon - 12.
The isotope carbon-12 has 6 neutrons; the isotope carbon-14 has 8 neutrons.
