Actually fusing carbon, such as in a star will create one of several type of elements. In the vast majority of stars carbon is not fused at all, but depending on the star's mass carbon may fuse into neon, oxygen, magnesium, among a couple others. This happens in specific type of stars, at specific times in their lives.

Fusing is different from chemical reactions. There are no chemical reactions that can make elements, but with nuclear transmutation you can do it.

For example, in a star hydrogen is fused into helium, and sometimes helium into carbon.

What molecules are pure elements?

If a molecule is made of only one type of atom, then it is a pure element in molecular form. For example, hydrogen gas, as it was used in balloons before the Hindenburg caught fire, is a pure element. That gas consists of hydrogen molecules - H2. Hydrogen gas nearly always forms two-atom molecules and is still a pure element. The Oxygen in the air is a pure element but it also is only found as two-atom gas-molecules - O2. The well-known Buckyballs which are large molecules of carbon are nothing but carbon and therefore are molecules of one element - pure carbon.

What element is important in the chemistry of life and forms compounds made of long chains of atoms?

Carbon is the element that is important in the chemistry of life and forms compounds made of long chains of atoms. Carbon's ability to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and with a variety of other elements allows for the diversity and complexity of organic molecules found in living organisms.


Is carbon dioxide an element?
