Carbon is a nonmetallic element that is available in both organic and inorganic compounds.
Carbon belongs to group 14 elements in the periodic table,carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6, it can form long chains with its own atoms, a feature called catenation.
Two allotropes of carbon available are diamonds and graphites, which have different crystalline structures
The physical properties of carbon vary widely with the allotropic form.
examples are.
Graphite, diamonds and coal are all nearly pure forms of carbon
Diamond is highly transparent. Graphite is opaque and black
Diamond is one of the hardest substances known to man. Graphite is soft and often used as the "lead" in lead pencils
Diamond has a very low electrical conductivity. Graphite is a very good conductor
Very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets
The Sun is 864,400 miles (1,391,000 kilometers) across. This is about 109 times the diameter of Earth. The Sun weighs about 333,000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1,300,000 planet Earths can fit inside of it.
