∙ 13y agocarbon 12 13 and 14 are the three isotopes of carbon. All carbon atoms have 6 protons but the number of protons can vary.
The number is the Atomic Mass, or the sum of the protons ans neutrons.
Carbon 12 (the most common) has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
Carbon 13 has 6 protons an 7 neutrons
Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons and is radioactive.

How do you find the atomic weight on the periodic table?
On many Periodic Tables, the small number directly below the chemical symbol is the atomic mass. On mine, there is a small 12.011 under the large C for carbon. While most carbon is 12, there are naturally occurring carbon13 and carbon14, so this is an average mass of all naturally occurring isotopes, with the majority of isotopes being carbon12
Isotope in a sentence?
