Carbon-14 contains more neutrons compared to carbon-12. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of protons and electrons in both carbon isotopes remains the same, at 6 each.
Isotopes.
Isotopes with fewer neutrons have less mass, leading to weaker intermolecular forces, resulting in lower densities and lower melting and boiling points compared to isotopes with more neutrons. The presence of more neutrons increases the mass and the strength of intermolecular interactions, thus increasing the density and melting and boiling points.
There generally isn't a problem; the more protons an atom has, the more neutrons it takes to glue them together. A Helium atom has two protons and generally two neutrons; in every other stable atom, there are more neutrons than protons. There are isotopes of elements with fewer-than-normal numbers of neutrons; these isotopes are generally unstable and radioactive, and will generally decay into other elements.
According to Wikipedia neutral nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. Nitrogen ions may have more or less electrons and other nitrogen isotopes may have more or fewer neutorns.

Isotopes.
An isotope has either more or fewer neutrons than a stable atom, and neutrons are part of the nucleus.
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.

An atom of gold typically has around 118 neutrons. This number can vary slightly due to different isotopes of gold which may have more or fewer neutrons.
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.
elements exist in more than one form eg carbon 12 and carbon14
