That is because Carbon Atoms are formed in different ways!
Depending on the arrangement of the carbon atoms, they form different things. For example, carbon can form: Diamond, graphite and coal. They are all made from carbon, but have different arrangement of carbon atoms.

Why are the properties of the New compounds created from the process from burning different from the properties of the compounds from which they were made of Of burning?
The products of a complete burning are carbon dioxide (sometimes oxides of nitrogen and sulfur), water vapors and a residue of oxides. Of course these compounds are very different from the reactants - chemically and physically. Different compounds have different properties.
What is the properties of oil to the properties of the elements in oil?
the properties of oil are very different from the element in oil so this makes it easy to solvee
Can material that look the same have different chemical properties?
Yes. Nitrogen and oxygen are both colorless, odorless gases. That means they share physical properties (their appearance, or lack thereof), but they have very different chemical properties because they are in different groups of the periodic table.
What are the characteristics of a subtances and mixtures?
The components of a mixture are not chemically combined and do not have a definite composition. A pure substance is either an element or a compound (in which case it is composed of elements that are chemically combined) and has a definite composition.
Why can samples of gold and copper have the same set of physical properties but not the same set of chemical properties?
They do not have the same set of physical properties. At the very least they have different melting and boiling points, and different densities, and their colors are not identical.
Are diamond and graphite isotopes of carbon?
Yes, diamond and graphite are isotopes of carbon as they are both entirely made of carbon. However they have very different structures resulting in their different properties.
How can substances that contain that same element have very different properties?
Because not only one element in a chemical compound counts for the chemical/physical prperties.

What elements are most like Carbon?
Nitrogen is very similar in chemical properties to Carbon.
Does carbon and sucrose share the same properties?
Carbon is an element. Sucrose, a sugar, is a compound ( a combination of elements ). Sucrose is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Pure carbon is found in two forms, graphite (pencil lead) and diamond. Carbon and sucrose are very different in properties except for the fact that both can be burned in the presence of oxygen to yield CO2 (and water in the case of sucrose).
Does sulfur and Helium have similar chemical properties?
No, they are completely different chemicals. Sulfur is a colored solid that reacts readily with other substances. Helium is a very unreactive colorless gas.
How can two minerals be made of the same element but be different minerals?
They can have different types of chemical bonding: Diamond and graphite are among the best examples, because both are forms of pure carbon but have very different properties.
Chemical substances that are very influential in the process of chemical weathering are what?
carbon dioxide and oxygen
Why are the properties of the New compounds created from the process of burning are different form the properties of the compounds from which they were made?
The products of a complete burning are carbon dioxide (sometimes oxides of nitrogen and sulfur), water vapors and a residue of oxides. Of course these compounds are very different from the reactants - chemically and physically.
Dangerous properties of carbon?
Carbob is a non toxic chemical element but is very combustible.
What are the physical properties of fluoride?
Fluorides are a class of compounds. They have very different physical properties.
Is carbon oxygen?
No. Carbon and oxygen are two very different elements.
