slightly more than 14, carbon 12 has an Atomic Mass of 12 by definition, so 1 atomic mass = the sum of the mass of a proton neutron and electron divided by 2
neutrons are slightly heavier than the combined mass of an electron and proton carbon 14 has a higher percentage neutrons than carbon 12 so it is heavier relative to the number of particles in it's nucleus(14)

atomic mass of carbon=12 atomic number of carbon=6
Carbon is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 12.
The mass of carbon -12 atom is known as standard atomic mass
atomic mass unit is equal to one-twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atomic mass is equal to one-twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons and neutrons.
12. The number 12 refers to the atomic mass. More precisely, to the sum of neutrons + protons; but this is usually close to the atomic mass. In the case of carbon-12, it is exact, by definition.
