Carbon atoms.


What are nanotubes made from which element?

Nanotubes are typically made from carbon atoms arranged in a cylindrical structure. Carbon nanotubes can have different properties depending on their structure and can be single-walled or multi-walled. They are known for their strength, flexibility, and thermal conductivity.


Which is an element salt carbon water or carbon dioxide?

Carbon is an element. Salt is a compound made of sodium and chlorine ions. Water is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is a compound made of carbon and oxygen atoms.


What rock is made up of carbon atoms?

Diamond is a rock made up of carbon atoms. Its structure is a repeating pattern of carbon atoms bonded together in a strong, three-dimensional network.


In two molecules of carbon dioxide 2CO2 there are how many atoms and what are they made of?

2 CO2 means there are two molecules of carbon dioxide. In one molecule of CO2 there is 1 carbon atom, and 2 oxygen atoms. So three atoms total. Therefore, in 2 molecules (each with 3 atoms) there are 6 atoms total. The molecules are made of atoms of carbon and oxygen. The atoms themselves are made of protons, electrons, and neutrons.


What compound is carbon made from?

Carbon is not made form any compound. It is an element composed only of carbon atoms.


What is the sources of carbon atoms?

Elements can not be created. The earth made carbon.


What are the pure forms of carbon?

Charcoal - a form of non-crystalline carbon Graphite - crystalline carbon - known as 'pencil llead' (although there is no lead in it!). In graphit, the atoms are joined together in flat sheets. Diamond - crystalline carbon with the carbon atoms arranged differently from graphite - in a huge 3d matrix. Buckminsterfullerene - a newly dicovered form of carbon where the atoms are joined together in hollow balls (called 'bucky-balls'). The investigation into this form of carbon in the future may lead to carbon 'nanotubes' - hollow tubes made out of elongated bucky-balls. These tubes, it is believed, will produce carbon that is immensely strong - like fibres as thin as your hair that could support the weight of a bus.

What are hyrdocarbons made of?

Carbon, and Hydrogen atoms.


How many atoms are in a diamond?

A diamond is composed of carbon atoms. The crystal structure of a diamond contains carbon atoms bonded together in a repeating pattern, with each carbon atom forming four covalent bonds with surrounding carbon atoms. This means that a diamond contains a very large number of carbon atoms, typically on the order of 10^23 atoms.


What is differencebetween atom and molecule?

Atoms are single elements, such as carbon, C. Molecules are made from atoms. Such as carbon dioxide, CO2. Two atoms of oxygen bonded with an atom of carbon.
