Usually it can only be made by intense nuclear reactions. Often these reactions occur in dying stars. Two atoms of Helium-4 combine to make berylium-8. Before it spontaneously decays it must combine with another helium atom to form carbon-12 - a stable isotope.
Aside from that, carbon cannot be 'made' on Earth. Existing carbon can only be extracted.

The decomposition of any organic compound in the absence of oxygen produces carbon This is how charcoal and coke are produced. Charcoal is somewhat impure carbon, while coke is made from coal and is relatively pure carbon.
You can dehydrate some compounds with concentrated H2SO4 and make carbon. I do this every year as a demonstration. We take sugar and add H2SO4(conc) and it turns to carbon with a great deal of heat and water vapor being given off.

∙ 14y agoWhy do you need to isolate carbon, I would use microwaves but not sure if that would work. TI have read that if we heat up the hydrogen or just air to really high temperatures, it cause carbon to rain down.

Why carbon can not enter the atmosphere?
Carbon can enter the atmosphere. It moves in and out of the atmosphere through the earth's regular carbon cycle.What it can not do is enter as pure carbon. Carbon is a solid in it's natural state and solids fall out of our atmosphere. Carbon must mix with a gas, such as oxygen, to create another gas, carbon dioxide, to enter the atmosphere.
Can copper be extracted from its compounds using carbon?
yes
Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
What describes seasonal changes in the levels of carbon dixode in the atmosphere?
Plants use carbon dioxide, so there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the summer.
How is carbon extracted from atmosphere?
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
How is carbon extracted form the atmosphere?
by animals and humans breathing out
How is argon extracted from the atmosphere?
threw a tube
What is Tropical forest carbon sequestration?
It means increasing the size of carbon pools and carbon sinks, like tropical forests, so that more carbon can be extracted from the atmosphere. It is part of a mitigation strategy in biological conservation concerned with forestry to tackle global warming and its effects on climate change.
Can the element carbon be extracted from living plant life?
Yes, although the plant won't be living any more if all its carbon is extracted.
How are minerals extracted from their ores?
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
What halogen is extracted by the carbon tetrachloridehexane?
Bromine
Why can't potassium be extracted from carbon?
Both carbon and potassium are elements, made up of nothing but their own unique atoms. In other words, since carbon is made only of carbon, no other substance can be extracted from it.
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.

How is Potassium extracted from the earth or Atmosphere?
By using electrolysis from potash
How is carbon monoxide carbon nitrogen and sulphur made?
Carbon monoxide is the product of a not complete combustion of organic materials.Nitrogen is extracted from air by cryogenic distillation.Sulfur is extracted from mines or from sulfides.Carbon is graphite, soot or diamond.
