Answer:All forms of carbon are highly stable, requiring high temperature to react even with oxygen, but it is still a very vigorous reaction.

-lizzy

Large molecules of carbons need high temperature to react with oxygen. However, nanoparticles (or microparticles) do not need high temperature to bind with oxygen.

Carbon reacts with a wide range of other elements and compounds. Some examples:

  • Oxygen (CO2)
  • Sulphur (CS2)
  • Hydrogen (CH4)
  • Hydroxyls (CH3OH)
  • Nitrogen (HCN)
  • Chlorine (CCl4)

Keep in mind, the magic number is 8.

Carbon particles have 6 Molecules each

Oxygen particles have 4 Molecules each

If 2 Carbon particles meet 1 Oxygen Particle this will happen:

2 Particles from Carbon Part.1 will combine with Oxygen Particle. This will let the molecules share between them. Giving Carbon Part.1 8Molecules, the magic number, and the oxygen particle 6 Molecules.

Another Particle, which is Carbon comes along, and it shares 2 of it with 2 of Oxygens, Giving that Carbon particle 8molecules and the Oxygen Particle 8 Molecules.

This formula is mostly recognized and none other than, Carbon Dioxide.

Result of Burning Carbon The burning [combustion] of the elements Carbon and Oxygen results in the release of energy in the form of heat and light, and the formation of a compound called Carbon Dioxide [IF there is enough Oxygen available]. In the event there is a shortage of Oxygen, then some Carbon Monoxide will also be formed.

well see atoms are all looking to have a complete outer shell of eight electrons. it takes 2 oxygen atoms to bond with 1 carbon atom. carbon has an outer shell of 4. oxygen has an outer shell of 6. carbon will "give" two electrons to each of the oxygen atoms to give them both eight, creating carbon dioxide. ( the "di-" simply means there are 2 oxygen atoms. 3 is tri- and so on and so forth.)

Carbon with hydrogen: maximum 4 single bonds

Carbon with oxygen: either one or two double bonds with one or two oxygen atoms, or one single bond with a mono-substituted oxygen.

Carbon with nitrogen: single, double or triple bonds with one double-, mono- or non-substituted nitrogen atom respectively

Carbon with carbon: single, double or triple bonds with one triple, double-, mono- substituted carbon atom respectively.

Carbon and oxygen are both non metals. Non metals form covalent bonds with each other. When carbon is burned in oxygen, oxides of carbon such as CO2 and CO are made.

These are introduced as oxycarbons. The most stable of them is carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide, which is poisonous to human is another. Relatively rare oxycarbons are oxalic anhydride, carbon suboxide and carbon trioxide.
