Roughly half of all the compounds in the universe have carbon as a component. Carbon's willingness to combine justifies its own branch of chemistry: organic chemistry.
Carbon can form a wide variety of compounds, including hydrocarbons (such as methane and benzene), organic compounds (such as carbohydrates and proteins), as well as inorganic compounds (such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide). Carbon can also form covalent bonds with other elements to create countless compounds due to its ability to bond with other carbon atoms and a variety of other elements.
The main kinds of carbon compounds present in coal are hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, and coal tar. In petroleum, the main carbon compounds are alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, and aromatic compounds like benzene, toluene, and xylene.
Just to make sure I'm covering all senses of the question, I'll give you three 3-carbon compounds: Propane Isopropane 1-chloropropane
Carbon is an element, so it is made up of carbon atoms. Carbon can form covalent bonds with other elements like hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and many others to create various organic compounds. Some common carbon-containing compounds include methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and glucose (C6H12O6).
One can make carbon dioxide by combining carbon-containing compounds, such as sugar or limestone, with an acid, such as vinegar or hydrochloric acid. This chemical reaction produces carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct.
Living things are based on compounds of carbon.

Chlorine and carbon
Yes, because it has carbon monoxide, then carbon dioxide and the list goes on.
No, oxygen is NOT a carbon compound. Carbon compounds have to have carbon in it, like glucose (C6-H12-O6).
Nearly all of the compounds that make up your body and regulate your metabolism are carbon-containing compounds called organic compounds. All of the carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids in your body are organic compounds.
Carbon dioxide
Every single organic thing contains carbon.
Compounds containing carbon are referred to as organic compounds
It is carbon!
Compounds that contain no carbon are inorganic.
