Carbon comes from the Latin" carbo" for coal and charcoal and was known in the forms of charcoal to the earliest human civilizations.   is probably the most important element in the periodic table when it comes to life on earth. Due to carbons unique way of bonding to four different atoms and also being able to bond to itself repeatedly – it can create a vast array of different chemical compounds. These chemical compounds make up every living organism on earth and without Carbon – life would not be possible.Carbon is the basis of a huge quantity of extremely important and essential materials that we use every day. One of the most commonly known materials is diamond which is a natural heavily structured mineral made desirable due to the way in which it reflects light and its sturdiness.
Carbon is the main component of fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal and gasoline.
