It is hydrocarbons that make up most of coal and petroleum.
Compounds are made up of two different kinds of elements. An example: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is made up of the elements Carbon and Oxygen.
An element - is a single substance (eg. Hydrogen orCarbon). Compounds are made up of two or more elements. The more elements you have - the more combinations you can make. For example - just using hydrogen and carbon - you can make literally dozens of organic compounds !
Well how loosely are we considering "types" of carbon compounds? At the most basic, you could say there are two types: organic and inorganic. Although theoritically any compound containing carbon should be considered organic, this is often not the case. You could also catogorise the following way: Organic; Inorganic compounds with other non-metals; Inorganic compounds with metals. Compounds with metals can also be split further, to include: Carbonates and bicarbonates; Carbonyls; Compounds containing the CN group; Carbides; and other miscilaneous compounds such as Bucky Balls!
Carbon atoms usually form four covalent bonds in carbon compounds. In some kinds of compounds, however, carbon forms a type of bond called "double" or "triple", in which carbon atoms share two (in double bonds) or three (in triple bonds) electrons from each carbon atom in the bond. In such instances it would be preferable to say that each carbon atom in one or more carbon to carbon bonds shares four electrons, rather than forms four bonds. Carbon only rarely if ever forms ionic bonds to another atom, but may do so in alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbides.
Steel is primarily Iron and Carbon. However, other elements can be present in different alloys, such as the following:ManganeseChromiumnickelirontungstenmolybdenumborontitaniumvanadiumCobaltniobiumphosphorussulfursilicontraces of oxygen, nitrogen, and copper

hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are the kinds of atoms always present in protein molecules

they are all carbon based
The thing about carbon is that it can form all kinds of carbon-carbon chains; this allows lots of interesting compounds, especially proteins, and a solution of proteins in water is fundamental to all life (as we know it).
Ammonium is a radical, NH4, present in some kinds of ionic compounds; it does not have soporific properties.
Because it can bond so well with itself. Note that its valance is 4, and that carbon can single, double, triple, or quadruple bond to carbon.
Carbon has an unusual property called catenation: interconnexion of cabon atoms by C-C bonds in a huge variety.

Fish hankers by the way what does petroleum mean
It can form four covalent bonds.
Lips are energy rick organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Some kind of lipids are fat, oil and wax.
