Alan Weaver · Answer 1

We know that carbon - 14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon

It is used in carbon dating to know the age of different forms of dead organism including plants

So it is used for estimating the age of sedimentry rocks which contains dead debris of plants and animals

It can be produced from N14 by radioactive reaction of N-14 with neutron

It is found in organisms
