Carbon comes from the Latin language carbo, which literally means coal or the word both signifies element and coal. Carbon is a pre-historic discovery, made possible by burning organic material in casks with insufficient supply of oxygen (charcoal making).
Carbon, the sixth most abundant chemical element in the universe, is represented by its chemical symbol C and an atomic designation 6. Carbon is a free element.
In 1789 A.L. Lavoisier named the element carbon. In 1594, D.L.G. Harsten and A.G. Werner named the substance graphite that was being used in pencils at the time.

Neptunium was obtained for the first time by Edwin McMillan and Philip H. Abelson in 1940 at Berkeley Laboratories. The nuclear reactions are: 23892U + n-------23992U-------23993Np + e

Carbon dating is a process that determines how old a substance is by the amount of carbon it contains. If the amount of carbon in a fossil is known, the approximate date of the fossilization of a particular substance can be determined using the known half life of carbon. This can be used to determine what time period an organism died even millions of years ago.
Carbon is an element, it is present in all things on earth, and has been here since the beginning of time.
