Carbon

Description:
Carbon, with the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number 7440-44-0, is a non-metallic element that is fundamental to all known life forms. It is characterized by its ability to form stable covalent bonds with a variety of elements, including itself, leading to an immense diversity of organic compounds. Carbon exists in several allotropes, the most notable being graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon, each exhibiting distinct physical properties. Graphite is opaque and conducts electricity, while diamond is transparent and an excellent insulator. Carbon has a relatively high melting point and is insoluble in water, but it can react with many elements, forming compounds such as carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. Its tetravalent nature allows it to form four bonds, making it a key component in organic chemistry. Carbon is also essential in various industrial applications, including steel production, fuel, and as a precursor for numerous chemical syntheses. Its versatility and abundance make it a cornerstone of both biological systems and material science.
