Discovery of Carbon Date of Discovery: Carbon is known from a Latin word “Carbo” which was discovered during the prehistoric time. Discoverer: There are no discoverer because Carbon are made from natural things.

Descriptions of the Element Carbon is made and found free in the nature Carbon are forming with limited applications used Thousands of Carbon are used in life processses Carbon has three forms: - amorphous (lampblack), diamond and graphite -It produces a lot of things such as a diamond that can be sold with a high amount of money

The Bad/Dangers Things Many of the compounds kill the living cells Plants and Animals are combine with compounds such as the Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc The remains of the animals and plants are forming deposits Some animals and plants are killed

Uses of Carbon Carbon can form to with limit applications Thousands of Carbon can be used in the life processes The Three forms can really helped people and they are worth of money such as the diamond

Interesting Facts The origin name are ‘Carbon' comes from the Latin word carbo, for charcoal. Carbon is made from free of nature and has been known since prehistoric time. Carbon is made in the interiors of stars.
