Carbon

A nonmetallic chemical element with the chemical symbol C is found in all living tissues.


One of the common non-metallic elements, an essential component of living matter and organic chemical compounds.


Nonmetallic element present in virtually all living things and all organic matter.


A non-metallic element, the compounds of which are found in all living tissues and which is a constituent (as carbon dioxide) of air exhaled from the lungs. Two isotopes of carbon, ‘|!C and ‘4C, are used in medicine. Carbon-11 is used in positron-emission tomography, and carbon-14 as a tracer element in studying various aspects of metabolism.


The nonmetallic element that is the characteristic constituent of organic compounds; average atomic mass 12.0111, atomic number 6.


An element that finds extensive application in the fabrication of resistors, dry cells, and nuclear reactors.


Carbon, a nonmetallic element, is an essential component found in the fundamental molecules of living organisms, including proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It is also present in certain inorganic molecules such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sodium bicarbonate. Additionally, pure carbon forms the primary constituent of diamond, coal, charcoal, and graphite.


A non-metallic element that, in its purest form, is naturally occurring as a diamond and is also a component of graphite, coal, and all plant and animal tissues.
