They got bored of carbon-13.

Carbon-14 dating primarily involves carbon-14 (¹⁴C) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Living organisms absorb carbon from the atmosphere, including a small proportion of carbon-14. When they die, they stop taking in carbon, and the carbon-14 they contain begins to decay at a known rate, allowing scientists to estimate the time since death based on the remaining amount of carbon-14.
Carbon - 14 has two more electrons than carbon - 12.
No, Carbon-14 naturally decays into nitrogen-14 through beta decay, not into Carbon-12. Carbon-12 is a stable isotope and does not undergo radioactive decay.
Carbon 14 has two additional neutrons compared to other isotopes of carbon. Carbon 12 is the most prevalent form of carbon. Carbon 13 also exists. Carbon 14 is radioactive and will eventually break down into other atoms.

Geologists use carbon-14, an isotope of carbon, and nitrogen-14 in radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is absorbed by all living organisms during their lifetime, and by measuring the ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 in a sample, geologists can determine its age.
Carbon 13 is stable; it does not decay into carbon 14. Since carbon 14 has a greater mass, such a decay would be impossible.
Carbon 14 is the isotope that is used for carbon dating.
Yes, the daughter element of Carbon-14 isNitrogen-14.
Carbon-14 itself is a radioactive isotope of carbon and does not have a distinct color. In its natural state, carbon-14 would not have a visible color.
The carbon family is often referred to as the "Carbon Family". Boring, but true.
Carbon -14 has extra two neutrons and is radioactive.
isotopes of carbon are atomic no. 6 mass 12 , atomic no.6 mass 13 , atomic no. 6 mass 14
Every isotope of carbon is a solid at standard temperature and pressure.
The symbol of carbon-14 (not equation) is 14C.
6 protons are in carbon 14
