What is Carbon-14 Isotope Composition Explained about?

Carbon-14 dating is a method to determine the age of historical artifacts by examining the ratio of carbon-14 and carbon-12 isotopes. Living plants incorporate carbon from carbon dioxide into their molecules, including carbon-14, maintaining the atmospheric ratio. After death, the carbon-14 in plants and animals decays radioactively, allowing the carbon-14/carbon-12 ratio to be used to estimate the age of the artifact. Carbon-14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons, while carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and
