The oxidation (burning) of carbon creates carbon dioxide, with some smaller amounts of carbon monoxide. This chemical reaction also releases energy, which is why coal is popular as a fuel in electric power plants.
basically there is no common substance from which everything is made.. if ur question is changed to " what are most of the things made of.." then its carbon.
Pure substances are made up of a single element, or a single compound. Table salt is a pure substance because it is made up of only the compound NaCl (sodium chloride). Diamond is a pure substance, it is made up of the element carbon. Air is not a pure substance, it is a mixture of several gaseous elements and compounds (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide..) Distilled water is a pure substance made up of a single compound H2O.
A substance can be categorized into several categories. If a substance cannot be separated through physical means (e.g., distillation, magnetism) it is a pure substance. If a substance can be separated through physical means, it is a mixture. If a mixture is uniform throughout, it is a homogenous mixture, like saltwater. If it is not (i.e., there are different parts to it, like a can of soda), it is a heterogeneous mixture. If a pure substance can be separated through chemical means, it is a compound, like glucose, which is made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. If a substance cannot be separated by chemical means, it is an element, like oxygen, which is made of just oxygen. A substance can be in multiple categories.
C+O+O=CO2 (two different elements) so a compound.CO2=1 part carbon and 2 parts oxygen, the carbon and oxygen themselves are elements, and it is a compound.Compound, because its made of more then one element, carbon and oxygen. Probably best described as a molecule because it is made of covalent bonds, however.
Carbon has been known and used by ancient civilizations for centuries. It was mainly used as a fuel. However, Antione Lavoisier was the first to list it as an element under the name "Carbon" in his 1789 textbook. The name Carbon comes from the Latin root carbo meaning coal. "Carbon" literally means coal-substance.
Carbon dioxide and water I think.

This is a hard one , nobody seems to know it! I thought it was a black lump as other researchers have told me but this is not true if anyone seems to know it please comment as I would like to know too . Thank you very much

Because Diamond is an allotrope of carbon - diamonds are purely made out of carbon.
Not exactly. Everything is made from carbon, and when it is burned, the gas carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, but it's not necessarily inside the smoke.

Carbon monoxide is a pure substance, as it is made up of molecules that are all identical (one carbon atom and one oxygen atom). It does not contain different types of molecules mixed together.
You think probable to carbon monoxide, CO.
