Is carbon a metal or nonmetal?

Answer 1

carbon is a nonmetal, not a metal.

Answer 2

• Carbon is a non metal. It react with oxygen to give an acidic oxide, and its compounds are molecular substances with covalent bonding. It has three pure forms (allotropes) which are diamond, buckminsterfullerene and graphite. The first two contain covalent bonds and do not conduct electricity, as you would expect for a non-metal, but graphite also contains a delocalised bond, which gives it some similarities to a metal, including good conduction of electricity.

Answer 3

It is a non-metal. All elements on the right side of the Periodic Table are non metals. The only exceptions are Boron(B), Silicon(Si), Arsenic(As), Tellurium(Te), and Astatine(At), all of which are metalloids; as well as the currently un-named elements, (Uub, Uut, Uuq, Uup, Uuh.) are considered "poor metals."

Answer 4

Carbon is a nonmetal.

It's very light excellent for making fishing rods as well as numerous other products.

Answer 5

Carbon is a nonmetal. It is one of the fundamental building blocks of organic compounds and is known for its ability to form a wide variety of bonds with other elements.

Answer 6
