The carbon found on Earth was present in the solar nebular from which the solar system formed. This carbon was formed as a result of the nuclear fusion processes which occur in stars as they leave the main sequence to become Red Giant stars.

These Red Giants expel part of their content as they die and this expelled stuff contain the carbon that they made. The expelled stuff eventually becomes part of a new star forming process.

Why does black soot form on a funnel?

Black soot can form on a funnel when there is incomplete combustion of fuel. This happens when the fuel does not have enough oxygen to fully burn, leading to the production of carbon particles. These carbon particles then adhere to the surface of the funnel, resulting in the formation of black soot.


Is carbon a liquid or solid?

Carbon is usually solid by itself under the allotropic form: diamond, soot and charcoal.


What element is found as coal or soot?

Carbon is the element found in coal and soot.


What is Diesel engine smoke problem?

Mostly un-burned carbon in the form of a fine soot.


How soot exist?

Soot is the product of an incomplete combustion of carbon.


Diamond and soot are very different yet both are natural forms of?

carbon. Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon with a specific atomic arrangement, making it the hardest natural material known. Soot, on the other hand, is a form of carbon that results from incomplete combustion of organic matter and appears as a fine black powder.


What are diamonds and soot made out of?

Diamond is an allotropic form, crystalline of carbon. Soots are also carbon, but noncrystalline and contain particles of organic compounds.


How did soot exists in the luminous flame?

Soot appears when there is an incomplete combustion of carbon. In fact, soot is just carbon but floated up as it becomes less dense.


What is the formula for soot?

Soot is primarily composed of Carbon. Four different types of particulate carbon can be identified in different types of soot, so getting more specific would require knowing what type of soot it was.


How does the number of atoms affect substance?

I assume you're asking about density when you say "substance." Take the example of carbon. In one form, it is a black powder (think soot). In its densest form it is diamond. A teaspoon of diamond has many more carbon atoms in it than a teaspoon of soot.


What are conditions for combustion?

carbon monoxide and carbon soot


When we heat things with a yellow Bunsen burner flame they get covered in soot where do the carbon particles come from to make the soot?

The yellow color in the Bunsen burner flame indicates incomplete combustion of the fuel gas, resulting in the release of carbon particles. These carbon particles combine with other substances in the air to form soot when they come in contact with a cooler surface.
