Carbon is one of the fundamental building blocks of molecules. It makes its way into your daily life in things you eat (carbohydrates (like sugar): Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen), in fuel for your car (hydrocarbons (like gasoline): Carbon and Hydrogen), and on your paper, (printer ink cartridges: pure carbon).
Wood contains carbon in the form of cellulose.
Plastic contains carbon in long chains called polymers.
Steel contains carbon sandwiched between Iron molecules.
Graphite is PURE CARBON.
Diamonds are PURE CARBON (in a different crystalline structure than graphite).
I hope this answers your question. Be more specific and I will give you a more specific answer.
What else can I help you with?
Where can we find carbon?
Carbon can be found in the Earth's atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. It is also present in living organisms, coal deposits, oil reserves, and in the form of graphite and diamonds in the Earth's crust. Additionally, carbon is a key component of various organic compounds found in plants, animals, and microorganisms.
Why is it rare to find a 4 plus ion of carbon?
It is rare to find a 4 plus ion of carbon because of the increasing energy required to ionize carbon. Ionization energy increases with each time.
Is coal an element or compound or a mixture?
Coal is a mixture of organic compounds, mainly carbon, along with traces of other elements like hydrogen, sulfur, and nitrogen.
Why does carbon form so many more compounds than other elements?
1. It can form bonds with up to four other atoms;2. Its bond energy to other carbon atoms is not very much weaker than its bond energy with oxygen.For a much fuller discussion of why both these things are important, see "The One and Only" by Isaac Asimov. You can find it in the collection The Tragedy of the Moon. (Or, if you're lucky enough to have a copy of the November 1972 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, it's in there too.)
Where on earth can you find the element carbon?
Carbon is found all over the Earth's crust, primarily in the form of coal, oil, gas, and various minerals. It is also present in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and in living organisms as a key component of organic compounds.
Where are two place you find carbon?
you find carbon in 1.living organisms 2.in organic compounds like diamond,graphite,etc
Application of trigonometry in your daily life?
Trigonometry can be used to find the heights of buildings when paired with a sextant (a device for measuring angles from the buliding)
What are two places that we can find carbon on earth?
Two places where carbon can be found on Earth are in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) and in living organisms as part of organic compounds. Carbon is also present in fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
What term do we collectively apply to compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonding?
The general term hydrocarbons is applied to compounds containing carbon-hydrogen bonds (and only the elements hydrogen and carbon). The basic string starts like this: methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), .... Check out the Wikipedia post on hydrocarbons. You'll find a link to their article below.

Where can you find science things such as elements and compounds?
You can find elements and compounds in matter.
Why is it rare to find a 4 plus ion of carbon?
It is rare to find a 4 plus ion of carbon because of the increasing energy required to ionize carbon. Ionization energy increases with each time.

How do I find my application ID?
To find your application ID, check the confirmation email you received after submitting your application. The application ID is usually included in the email or on the application form itself. If you can't find it there, contact the organization or institution you submitted the application to for assistance.
Why are all living things considered organic?
That would be carbon. The definition of an organic molecule or compound is one that contains carbon. Exceptions are for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and a few other carbon molecules by historic convention.
Where can you find a table of the value of ionic compounds?
We can find a table of the value of ionic compounds in periodic table
