If carbon-14 gained 1 proton, it would become nitrogen-14. This change in atomic number would make the atom of nitrogen chemically different from carbon. Losing 1 neutron would not significantly affect its stability or radioactivity.
Neither. Naturally occuring carbon-14 undergoes beta decay, releases electron, one of the neutrons transmutate into proton and viola - you have nitrogen-14, stable atom. (That can be irradiated by cosmic rays, undergoes transmutation which makes carbon-14 again...)
Nitrogen 14 has 7 neutrons and 7 protons so the ratio is 1:1
Carbon-14 (C-14) undergoes positron emission as part of its radioactive decay process. During this decay, a neutron in the carbon nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the emission of a positron (the antimatter counterpart of an electron) and a neutrino. The reaction can be represented as: [ ^{14}{6}\text{C} \rightarrow ^{14}{7}\text{N} + e^+ + \nu_e ] This transforms the carbon-14 atom into nitrogen-14 (N-14).
Nitrogen-14 atom has 7 neutrons and protons.
The results of beta transmutation will depend on which beta decay even occurs. If it's beta minus, a neutron will be converted into a proton and an electron will be ejected from the nucleus. The original atom with its 6 protons and 8 neutrons (6 + 8 = 14, the mass number as specified) will be an atom with 7 protons and 7 neutrons. In a beta plus decay event, a proton will be converted into a neutron and a positron will be ejected from the nucleus. The original atom with its 6 protons and 7 neutrons will be an atom with 5 protons and 8 neutrons. In addition to the ejected electron or positron, there will also be an ejected antineutrino or neutrino (respectively). Use the links below for more information on beta decay.
If carbon-14 gained 1 proton, it would become nitrogen-14. This change in atomic number would make the atom of nitrogen chemically different from carbon. Losing 1 neutron would not significantly affect its stability or radioactivity.
A neutral silicon atom will have 14 electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. A link follows and can be found below.

None of the above. About 70 percent of the earth is covered by water.
The neutral atom has 14 protons.
