What is the difference in carbon that has an atomic mass of 12 and one that has an atomic mass of 14?

A carbon atom with a mass of 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus. This configuration is stable. A carbon atom with a mass of 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus, making it somewhat heavier. This configuration is unstable and the nucleus will eventually emit an electron, converting the carbon atom into a nitrogen atom with 7 protons and 7 neutrons in the nucleus.
