Carbon is an essential element on earth.

The air is composed of chemicals

mainly Carbon and Oxygen in which Carbon is maintained by the Carbon Cycle. Carbon
is absorb by plants for photosynthesis. These plants are then consumed by animals,
and absorbs carbon into their bodies. When these animals die, their bodies
decomposed and carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Some carbons that are
not released back into the atmosphere will become fossil fuels. These fossil fuels will be
use by man which will produce more carbons and are released back into the
atmosphere.
Different Characteristics of Carbon

 Carbon is a non-metallic chemical element

 Most of the things around us contains carbon
 Carbon exist in different forms which has its own characteristics such as
diamonds and graphite in a well-defined form and fullerene which is composed of
entirely carbon
 Carbon belongs to group 14 or Group 4-A, Period 2 and Block P in periodic table
 It has an atomic number of 6
 Its melting and boiling point are both at 3,825°C
 Carbon has an atomic mass of 12.011
 Carbon contains 4 electrons which means its valence electrons is 4 to make it
stable.
 Density is 3.513 g/cm-3 in diamond and 2.2 g/cm-3 in graphite
 Key isotopes are 12C, 13C, 14C
