Components of crude oil can be separated through a process called fractional distillation.

Explanation:

Fractional distillation can be described as a method of distillation in which a liquid mixture is separated based on the different boiling points of the components present in the mixture. The components of crude oil have different boiling temperatures hence, they can be separated by the process of fractional distillation.

The fractionating column has high temperatures at the bottom so components with high temperatures are separated at the bottom. The upper columns have lower temperatures. Components with lower boiling temperatures get separated at the upper columns.

c-14 is carbon-14, or radiocarbon.   it is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
