Is carbon synthetic or can it be found in nature?
Carbon can certainly be found in nature, but some of its radioactive isotopes are synthetic.
What is Most common substances occurring in nature?
The most abundant elements in the universe are as follows: Hydrogen Helium Oxygen Carbon Neon
What shape of a carbon chain play?
carbon chain can be linear, branched or cyclic in nature.
Why there are so many carbon compound?
The reason why there are so many carbon compounds is because carbon is very stable.
Is CO an organic or inorganic compound?
1: CO is not an element, it is a compound. 2: There are no organic elements, only organic compounds. 3: It is inorganic as an organic compound must have both carbon and hydrogen (C and H), whereas CO only has carbon and oxygen.

4: The prefix "tetra" means "four", and the most common valence of hydrogen is 1.
Which molecule is more likely to exist in nature a molecule of CH3 or a molecule of CH4 Explain?
The molecule of methane is more stable, carbon is tetravalent.
What the percent of carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes in nature?
Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are both stable isotopes of carbon. Carbon-12 makes up 98.89 percent of carbon in nature, while carbon-13 makes up only 1.1 percent of carbon.
Is carbon synthetic or can it be found in nature?
Carbon can certainly be found in nature, but some of its radioactive isotopes are synthetic.
Is carbon combined?
Yes, carbon is always combined with something in nature
Carbon dioxide contains carbon yet it is considered to be inorganic Why?
Organic compounds are actually compounds containing carbon covalently bonded with a hydrogen. You can say carbon is the main thing here. Compounds of carbon [except oxides, carbonates, bicarbonates] are termed as organic. Water does not contain a carbon atom. So it is inorganic. Carbon dioxide is considered by chemists as inorganic, along with carbon monoxide, carbonates and bicarbonates. Nature has not distinguished compounds into inorganic and organic compounds that clearly. These compounds of carbon are just assumed to be inorganic. Also there is that one thing about carbon being covalently bonded with hydrogen in organic compounds. Due to that criteria carbon dioxide is considered inorganic. But actually there is no clear reason.

Is a carbon a valuable?
carbon is very valuable as most of the compounds in nature (including human body) contains carbon
Does carbon survive alone in nature?
Yes. Coal contains free carbon and graphite and diamond are also carbon.
What is the lipids that contain the maximum number of carbon and hydrogen possible?
A saturated hydrocarbon. Fats of a solider nature.
What shape of a carbon chain play?
carbon chain can be linear, branched or cyclic in nature.
Is carbon tetrachloride man mad or found in nature?
No, carbon tetrachloride is man happy!
