A mixture can be both homogeneous and heterogeneous; it is the combination of two or more substances.
Since carbon is an element, it is a substance.

Carbon is an ELEMENT.
It form several isotopes; different neutron number.
It forms several allotropes ; different physical state.
It has the ability to CATENATE ; that is combine with other carbon atoms to form long chains and cyclic molecules.
As the element Carbon (C) has atomic No. 6 . It has Atomic Mass of 12 ; commonest isotope.
An atom of 'C-12' contains 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons. Other isotopes of 'C' are C-13 , with 7 neutrons, and C-14 with 8 neutrons, the number of protons and electrons remains the same for all isotopes.
Its commonest allotrope is GRAPHITE (Black soot like material), other allotropes are DIAMOND , and the BUCKMINSTER FULLERENE (FOOTBALLENE).
Carbon atoms have the ability to catenate, that form long chains, such as Butane, Pentene, Hexyne. and longer chains. . It can also form cyclic molecules such as BENZENE.
These longer chain molecules can be mixed ; there are mixtures of Octane,
As a compound carbon MUST combine with another element, simplest is hydrogen, such as Butane. etc.,
It is the basic atom for all ORGANIC Chemistry, and BIOLOGICAL chemistry.
It form very complex molecules (Proteins / DNA). There are millions of known carbon compounds.
