They are usually identical. However, in special circumstances, such as when the carbon is derived from an ancient organism, the fractions of particular isotopes may vary. Atoms of a single isotope of carbon in their ground state are always identical, irrespective of source.

How does the half life of element Z compare to the half life of carbon-14?

The half-life of an element is the time it takes for half of a sample to decay. It is specific to each element. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, whereas the half-life of element Z would depend on the specific element and is not necessarily comparable to carbon-14.
