C12 and C14 are isotopes of the Element Carbon. C12 is the most abundant of all which is 99% of all the Carbon on earth while C14 is only 0.0000000001% (trace amount).

C12 has a Atomic Number of 12. It has 6 Protons and 6 Neutrons.

C14 has a Atomic Number of 14. It has 6 Protons and 8 Neutrons.

C14 is radioactive in nature. It is used for carbon dating.

One difference between carbon-12 and carbon-14 is that carbon-14 has?

a greater number of neutrons than carbon-12. Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons in its nucleus compared to the 6 neutrons in the carbon-12 nucleus. This difference in neutron number is what gives carbon-14 its radioactive properties.

Compared to an atom of C-12 an atom of C-14 has?

two more neutrons in its nucleus, making it slightly more massive. This difference in neutron number also contributes to C-14's radioactivity, as it undergoes beta decay to turn into N-14.
