As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. There are three naturally occurring isotopes, with C and C being stable, while C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life of about 5730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity. The name "carbon" comes from Latin language carbo, coal, and, in some Romance and Slavic languages, the word carbon can refer both to the element and to coal. There are several allotropes of carbon of which the best known are graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon. The physical properties of carbon vary widely with the allotropic form. For example, diamond is highly transparent, while graphite is opaque and black. Diamond is among the hardest materials known, while graphite is soft enough to form a streak on paper (hence its name, from the Greek word "to write"). Diamond has a very low electrical conductivity, while graphite is a very good conductor. Under normal conditions, diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of all known materials. All the allotropic forms are solids under normal conditions but graphite is the most thermodynamically stable. All forms of carbon are highly stable, requiring high temperature to react even with oxygen. The most common oxidation state of carbon in inorganic compounds is +4, while +2 is found in carbon monoxide and other transition metal carbonyl complexes. The largest sources of inorganic carbon are limestones, dolomites and carbon dioxide, but significant quantities occur in organic deposits of coal, peat, oil and methane clathrates. Carbon forms more compounds than any other element, with almost ten million pure organic compounds described to date, which in turn are a tiny fraction of such compounds that are theoretically possible under standard conditions. Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. It is present in all known lifeforms, and in the human body carbon is the second most abundant element by mass (about 18.5%) after oxygen. This abundance, together with the unique diversity of organic compounds and their unusual polymer-forming ability at the temperatures commonly encountered on Earth, make this element the chemical basis of all known life.

Q. and more questions here... Why do fish in the ocean add carbon dioxide to the water they live in? When a rabbit eats a starch molecule in a carrot, how does the glucose molecule get to a muscle cell in the rabbit's leg? what is the relationship between glucose and starch in a photosynthetic leaf? best answer given to person hu answers all the questions! Asked by Roxanne - Thu May 22 11:14:30 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Glucose is metabolized by the processes of glycolysis and the Krebs cycle in all aerobic organisms like the bean plant. This is a complex series of organic conversions that you can find in many textbooks. The result is the complete conversion of glucose to H2O and CO2. Fish being aerobic organisms will metabolize carbohydrate in their food to H2O and CO2, just like the bean root cell. So, they add CO2 to the water they live in. In the rabbit, glucose is transported to muscle tissue via the bloodstream. Glucose and starch in the photosynthetic leaf are very closely related. Starch is simply a polymer of glucose units. A polymer is the chemical term for a molecule made up of indentical units like beads on a necklace.

They just passed a law in Illinois saying that you have to have a Carbon Monoxide Detector in your home. Is there a difference between the plug-ins or the battery operated alarm? Also, does a home only need one or should there be an alarm near all appliances? Asked by KBGood - Thu Jan 11 17:03:23 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. same rules apply for a smoke detector, one on each level of the house, especially near sleeping areas. Plug in with a battery back up are a little better as people do not tend to remember to change batteries yearly, and a detector does not do you any good if it's dead. Also if you are a smoker or there is smokers in your house, be aware that sometimes the CO from cigarettes can set up detectors Answered by vannilla26 - Thu Jan 11 17:23:20 2007 Why does my carbon monoxide alarm goes off only occasionally when I turn the heater on?
Q. I can turn my heater on and off for a week and then one day I can turn it on a the carbon monoxide alarm goes off and I smell fumes. Does that mean my heater needs to be replaced? Asked by Joaquindsey - Mon Jan 28 13:09:41 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. You should at least get your heater serviced. Perhaps you don't need to replace it. Perhaps you do. But you should certainly have it looked at by someone who knows what to look for. If the heater is putting out enough CO to trip your alarm, then you don't want to mess with it.
