The Periodic Table of Elements Carbon
6 C Carbon 12.010
About Carbon 6 C Atomic Number – 6 Atomic Weight – 12.010 Symbol – C Period Number – 2 Group number – 14 Carbon is a nonmetal Valence Electron - 4 Carbon 12.010
How carbon got discovered. Carbon was discovered in prehistory in the form of diamonds, charcoal, and graphite.But it hasn't always been recognized as an element.Antoine Lavoisier listed carbon as an element in his 1789 textbook.Diamond and graphite were not known as the same element until Humphrey Davy showed, first, that heating a diamond in the presence of oxygen produced only carbon dioxide, and then that heating a diamond in the absence of air caused it to change into graphite. This was around 1830.
Elements with similar properties as Carbon Same Group (14) Silicon Germanium Tin Lead Nonmetals Hydrogen Nitrogen Phosphorus Oxygen Sulfur Selenium
Carbon makes… Diamonds Coal Graphite
Carbon Componds Chlorides Carbon tetrachloride: CCl4 Bromides Carbon tetrabromide: CBr4 Iodides Carbon tetraiodide: CI4 Oxides Carbon dioxide: CO2 Carbon monoxide: CO Carbon suboxide: C3O2 Sulfides Carbon disulphide: CS2
Facts about Carbon Carbon is the basis for organic chemistry, as it occurs in all living organisms. Carbon is a nonmetal that can bond with itself and many other chemical elements, forming nearly ten million compounds. Carbon is made in the interiors of stars, though it was not produced in the Big Bang Carbon has the highest melting/sublimation point of the elements Pure carbon exists free in nature and has been known since prehistoric time. The origin of the name 'carbon' comes from the Latin word carbo, for charcoal. Pure carbon is considered non-toxic, although inhalation of fine particles, such as soot, can damage lung tissue. Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe.
