Best Answer

Gasoline is burnt in the engine of a car to form carbon dioxide, which is emitted from the exhaust of the car.

The carbon dioxide goes into the air, where it is absorbed by the tree.

Within chloroplasts in the tree's cells, the carbon dioxide is metabolized to form organic compounds for energy storage (or else used immediately).

Diamond atoms are just carbon atoms.Chemically no atom of any kind can be split.Via nuclear processes any atom heavier than hydrogen-1 can be split.


What is adjacent atom and bond?

The adjacent carbon atom means the carbon atom next to, or beside, the atom of interest. For example, in an aldehyde, the carbon that has the double bond to oxygen is called the carbonyl carbon. The adjacent carbon is called the alpha (α) carbon.
