Scientists use carbon-dating to determine the age of fossils. 14C is a rare
isotope of carbon that has a half-life of 5730 years and decays into 14N.
By measuring the amount of 14C remaining in a fossil, scientists can
estimate when the organism died to within 60,000 years. The atomic
numbers of C is 6 and of N is 7

A. more electrons
B. more protons
