Answer:

The nucleus of carbon 14 contains 6 protons and 8 neutrons, as opposed to the 6 and 6 found in ordinary carbon 12. The imbalance makes carbon 14 a radioisotope with a half-life of 5,700 years, and an emitter of beta particles. This radioactive isotope of carbon is called radiocarbon.

Explanation:

Carbon 12 is stable because it contains the same number of protons and neutrons and the Carbon 14 is unstable because there of the difference in their proton and neutron numbers. As Carbon 14 is unstable, it disintegrates or goes through radioactive decay. Carbon 14 has a half-life of 5730 years.

hope this will help uh☺☺
