It predates written history. First found on a half burned stick.
Element number 6, carbon, was known since ancient times and does not have a single discoverer. However, Antoine Lavoisier is often credited with identifying carbon as an element in the late 18th century.
In the rain forests of Russia
Various European scientists showed that charcoal, diamond and graphite are composed of the same element in the 18th century but carbon has been known in its various forms since antiquity. For more about this history please see the wikipedia article about carbon.
Carbon is an element, not a compound. It is a fundamental building block of many compounds, but by itself, carbon consists of only one type of atom.
No, carbon fiber is not an element. It is a material made of thin, strong crystalline filaments of carbon that are used in various applications such as aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment. Carbon, the element, is the primary component of carbon fiber.

Carbon was never really discovered. Carbon's discoverer and date of discovery is unknown. Some people believe that it was discovered in 2500 BCE. Carbon was discovered by "accident"

Carbon was not made by anyone. [Categories indicate this as a science question and not a question of faith-based cosmology.] Carbon is the 6th most abundant element in the universe, and it was discovered in pre-historic times, probably at first in its form as charcoal. It was named 'carbon' by Lavoisier in 1789.
that is my question but people give the wrong answers like me. xD
Who discovered carbon and when Who discovered carbon and when
no, he is the guy who discovered the fullerene (C60). It was named after him. He like made the model for it. But Richard Smalley, Robert Curl, and Harold Kroto discovered it with their new magnifying glass they made on accident. And then they found this new element. They are also know as buckytubes and buckyballs.
The date that the element carbon was discovered is unknown. It has been known about since the beginning of mankind.
Impossible to know: gold or silver, mercury or copper, sulfur or carbon.
Carbon is an element.
Humphrey Davy discovered that carbon and diamond were the same element in 1813 during his experiments on the electrolysis of molten salts. By passing an electric current through a mixture of molten salts and carbon, he was able to isolate elemental carbon, showing that diamond and carbon were chemically identical.
B is the symbol for which element?Boron
