Tell you facts about carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

Carbon is used in diamonds , charcoal, and mostly in graphite. it is the basis for ALL living things. :D
carbon has the highest melting/sublimation point of all elements =D

1. Carbon is the basis for organic chemistry, as it occurs in all living organisms.
2. Carbon is a nonmetal that can bond with itself and many other chemical elements, forming nearly ten millioncompounds.
3. Elemental carbon can take the form of one of the hardest substances (diamond) or one of the softest (graphite).
4. Carbon is made in the interiors of stars, though it was not produced in the Big Bang.
5. Carbon compounds have limitless uses. In its elemental form, diamond is a gemstone and used for drilling/cutting; graphite is used in pencils, as a lubricant, and to protect against rust; while charcoal is used to remove toxins, tastes, and odors. The isotope Carbon-14 is used in radiocarbon dating.
6. Carbon has the highest melting/sublimation point of the elements. The melting point of diamond is ~3550°C, with the sublimation point of carbon around 3800°C.
7. Pure carbon exists free in nature and has been known since prehistoric time.
8. The origin of the name 'carbon' comes from the Latin word carbo, for charcoal. The German and French words for charoal are similar.
9. Pure carbon is considered non-toxic, although inhalation of fine particles, such as soot, can damage lung tissue.
10. Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe (hydrogen, helium, and oxygen are found in higher amounts, by mass).

Carbon can be one of the softest materials (Graphite) or one of the hardest materials (Diamond).

Answer 2

1. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless gas comprising one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms.
2. It is essential for photosynthesis in plants, where it is converted into glucose.
3. However, excessive amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.

Answer 3

Carbon is special because it is able to join other atoms (especially hydrogen and oxygen) to form long chains of atoms which store a lot of energy. Carbon has 4 electrons (with space for another four) in its outer shell, enabling it to join with up to 4 other atoms.

Carbon is an essential ingredient in hydrocarbons (from fossil fuels)

All living things, including us, and all things once living contain carbon (hence the production of fossil fuels). Our DNA can contain billions of carbon atoms.

Without carbon, there would be no diamonds, fuels, solvents, plastics, soaps, detergents, dyes, antibiotics, adhesives, cosmetics, perfumes, paints, paper, insecticides, and flavourings.

Above all, without carbon there would be no DNA and therefore no life as we know it.

Answer 4

• It is the base element for all known life forms
• One of the most stable elements on the Periodic Table
• 1/3 of its naturally occurring isotopes are radioacive

Answer 5

Carbon is the building block of all living organisms. Elemental carbon can take the form of diamonds or graphite. It is the 4th most abundant element in the Universe.

Answer 6

carbon is used mostly in diamonds and bonds alot with other chemical bonds

Answer 7

it is poisonous gas which is the cause of the green house effect and also contribute to the global warming
