Carbon is an element because by itself, it cannot be broken down into any simpler substances through chemical means. It appears in the Periodic Table of Elements and has atomic number 6. Carbon dioxide, calcium carbonate, and tetrachloromethane would be examples of carbon-containing compounds.
Carbon is an element - a building block of a compound! - but it is not a compound per se. Compounds need to have more than one element in definite ratios to be legitimate.
Carbon is the element tht will form only covalent compound.
paper is wood which turns to carbon when burnt.the by products is carbon dioxide.the final product is only black spacks of carbon which is an element but not a mixture.if your final product contains impurities such as dust than thats a compound
An oxide is a compound that contains oxygen and at least one other element that is less electronegative than oxygen.
Yes, because it contains the element of carbon.
Because carbon cannot be changed into a simpler substance by normal means
Carbon is not a compound. It is an element. Compounds are made up of more than one type of element.
Carbon be element, and element always contain more than one compound!

Nitrogen,N2
No Copper is a chemical element rather than a compound.
During a chemical reaction, the powder breaks down into calcium and carbon.
They are compounds because they are make up of more than one element. These are hydrogen and carbon.
Carbon is the element tht will form only covalent compound.
CH4 is a compound. (hint: if the formula has more than one capital letter, it contains more than one element and is therefore a compound.)
Iron is not a compound at all. It is an element. Since it contains neither no carbon it is inorganic.
