Nitrogen is heavy percentage in atmosphere due to this when heavy neutron collision with nitrogen nuclei then it produce.

I agree with this but what is the properties of radio carbon?

Neutrons undergo collision and forms unstable elements but one thing is that does it break to form any other element.

In every atom there is a small amount of carbon. From that we will calculate the radiocarbon dating.

Radiocarbon is present in the atmosphere due to pollution and bombardment of collision between fast neutron.

Radiocarbon dating usually referred to as simply carbon is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 14c. It is a method used by archaeologist to date organic materials by comparing the amount of carbon 14 c14 available in living creature.

The neutrons these are produced in atmosphere from the sun radiation i.e.cosmic rays. So that the obtained neutron is then reacts with the nitrogen which is present in the atmosphere and produce radioactive element.
