2. Properties of Carbon Atomic Number: 6 Atomic Mass: 12 It’s a solid and a nonmetal… Element Symbol: C Element name: Carbon The Carbon Group

3. The History!(: Carbon rank 19th in the order of abundance of the elements. Discovered by Rene A.F Reaumur Carbon was discovered in 1985!!!

4. Carbon’s 1st Allotropic Form Graphite is one of the softest known materials while diamond is one of the hardest! Carbon, as a microscope diamonds, is found in some meteorites. Natural diamonds are found in ancient volcanic “pipes” such as found in South Africa. Graphite

5. Carbon’s 2nd Allotropic Form Amorphous is formed out of carbonization of organic and fossil matter buried deep into the earth under high pressure with very limited supply of air. For example: coal it is common variety is bituminous which is like hard stone and burns with smoky flame. Amorphous

6. Carbon 3rd Allotropic Form Diamond is the ultimate gemstone, having few weaknesses and many strengths. I is the hardest substance found in nature, but few people realize that Diamond is four times harder than the next hardest natural mineral, corundum (sapphire and ruby). Diamond

7. Carbon’s 4th Allotropic Form! Ceraphite also known as White Carbon was produced in 1969. It is a transparent material that can split a single beam of light into two beams, a property known as birefringence. White carbon is used to help rubber materials keep elasticity after you’ve stretched them for many years. White Carbon
