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.
Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
The opposite of an isotope would be a pure element that does not contain any variations in the number of neutrons in its nucleus. This means that all atoms of that element have the same number of protons and neutrons.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.

elements exist in more than one form eg carbon 12 and carbon14
The stable isotope formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope is called a daughter isotope. This process is known as radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope transforms into a stable daughter isotope through the emission of particles or energy.

It is called an isotope.
The most common isotope of silicon is the isotope 28Si: 92,23 %.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
