Carbon-14 has 6 protons. The number of protons in an element's nucleus determines its atomic number, and for carbon, this is always 6, regardless of the isotope. Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon, differing from the more common carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes by having 8 neutrons.
Copper has 29 Protons
