One carbon atom can be attached to other carbon atom. By this unique property of carbon, that you can get very large number of molecules. No other atom has got this property. So life without the carbon atom is not possible.

Is it possible for non carbon-based life forms to exist on Earth?

While carbon-based life forms are the most common on Earth, it is theoretically possible for non carbon-based life forms to exist. However, there is currently no evidence of such life forms on our planet.


What evidence exists to support the possibility of non-carbon based life on Earth?

There is limited evidence to support the possibility of non-carbon based life on Earth. Some scientists have suggested that alternative biochemistries, such as silicon-based life forms, could potentially exist in extreme environments where carbon-based life may not survive. However, no definitive proof of non-carbon based life on Earth has been found.
