Since all living forms on Earth are based on carbon, I suppose carbon can be said to be somewhat important to me.
I has improved the medicines, chemically & naturally.
It's lovely with a little sauce bernaise.
The mechanical properties are significantly improved.
Carbon is essential to life. Life could not exist without it
yes he improved the light bulb that Edison invented using the carbon filament.
The mechanical properties are significantly improved.
Carbon is the head of the carbon family known as the "basis of life."
Carbon-14 or 14C, which is a radioactive isotope of carbon, has a half life of 5,700 years.
Carbon dioxide is NOT a life characteristic.
The half-life of carbon-12 is about 5,730 years.
When it says 'life is carbon-based', it literally means just that. All forms of life are built off of the element Carbon, which is number 6 on the periodic table. All life is built off of carbon. Nothing can be considered life unless it has traces of carbon. For example, DNA is the base of human life, and carbon makes up most of the DNA, so when it says 'life is carbon-based', it means that all life depends on the element carbon, nicknamed 'the element of life'.
You do not find the half life in carbon dating. The half lives of carbon isotopes are derived by studying their radioactive decay. For carbon dating, the isotope used is Carbon-14, which has a half life of 5,700 years.
