0 oxidation state
Graphite is pure carbon.So it has 0 oxidation state.
Pure diamond and pure graphite are composed only of elemental carbon; therefore, the oxidation number of the carbon atoms is 0 by definition.
The oxidation state of carbon in CH3OH is 4
in CaCO3 carbon is in the 4+ oxidation state.
2+

because carbon graphite had carbon but graphite does not have carbon
Graphite is a solid at 20 0C.
C = +2 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
In methane (CH4), carbon is in the 4- oxidation state.
Carbon is tetravalent.
Carbon.
There are NO carbon (C) atoms in potassium nitrate (KNO3). B.t.w. atoms always have an oxidation state to be zero.
