No, but carbon is a part of nearly all macromolecules.
Petrol is called a hydrocarbon because it is primarily composed of molecules containing hydrogen and carbon atoms. The main components of petrol are hydrocarbons such as octane, which is a chain of eight carbon atoms bonded together with hydrogen atoms.
The molecular formula for Fructose is C6H12O6. This indicates that there are six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
A carbon atom with four different atoms or groups attached is called a chiral carbon atom. It is also known as a stereocenter and gives rise to optical isomerism in molecules.
Yes it does because it needs at least 2 carbon atoms to have a double bond. this is also why there is no methEne x
C60 stands for a molecule called Buckminsterfullerene, which is a form of carbon consisting of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a unique structure with pentagons and hexagons. It is also known as a fullerene or a buckyball.
There are eight allotropes of carbon. Bucky ball is one of the allotrope of carbon. Bucky ball is also called fullerene

Carbon bonds are typically referred to as covalent bonds, in which carbon atoms share electrons with other atoms, like hydrogen, oxygen, etc. Carbon can also form double bonds and triple bonds with other atoms, depending on the number of electrons shared.
The molecular formula for Fructose is C6H12O6. This indicates that there are six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.

Atomic mass of carbon: 12.0 grams12.01 grams C × (6.02 × 1023 atoms) / (12.0 grams) = 6.03 × 1023 atoms of CarbonNote that one mole of any substance is Avogadro's constant (6.02 × 1023) and that one mole of Carbon is 12.0 grams. So if you have 12.01 grams of carbon (roughly one mole) you should get about Avogadro's constant.
An atom is an atom of a particular element because of the number of protons it has in its nucleus. Atoms also have neutrons in the nucleus but the number of neutrons is not always the same. For example, Carbon has 6 protons in its nucleus. Most carbon atoms also have 6 neutrons but some have 7 or 8. The atomic weight is therefore 12 (6+6), 13 (6+7) or 14 (6+8). These are the natural isotopes of carbon and they are called Carbon-12, Carbon-13 and Carbon-14. Carbon-14 is unstable, decays over time and is therefore radioactive isotope (radio-isotope) So, isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. All atoms are isotopes.
