Periodic Table: The main element for carbon life

In a romantic action, if you have said that someone is the air you breathe, you may have changed for another element, ultimately ‘breathing air’ is a mixture of several gas, Although carbon is basically unique to protect life and everything that exists.

But it’s not a problem, it goes out a little bit and makes four calls with a good part of the elements, so the solution can only continue to say how special it is for you without comparisons or metaphors.

But indeed, it is one of the most passionate components of the periodic table. His versatility and characteristics make it the key to the existence of all life on earth.

Learn a little more about the fact that it can produce delicious barbecues and also to create engagement rings.

Carbon everywhere and in any way

Carbon is the 6th element of the periodic table and is not by chance, but the number of atoms is represented by the ‘C’ symbol. Its name is usually in nature after its way, coal.

Although it is one of the most abundant elements of the universe, there are not many representative offices in the world shell that do not participate in the 10 most existing list of elements. There is no consistency about the full ranking position in the literature, but on average, it is the 15th most existing element in our planet.

The use as a combustion product has been carried out since Christ, but in 1789, it was classified as a chemical element by Antoine Lavoisier, its features were examined and then “existing roads” They noticed that carbon atoms can be organized in different ways.

One of the most interesting features of this element is the ability to connect to long carbon chains and create several basic compounds for our presence.

All known life forms are based on carbon. For example, in humans, it is estimated that the element that constitutes our structures is 18%. At the right temperature and pressure, you are a jewel. I’m already explaining this.

And since we exist in everything that is alive and even in things that are not alive, we constantly consume and produce carbon compounds.

This carbon recycling cycle is necessary to reuse each molecule by keeping the structures in perfect harmony. In addition to other basic compounds, carbohydrates, while re -connecting to other elements forming proteins.

By observing fossil fuels such as coal and oil on the other side of the coin, we can notice the organization of a carbon compounds that pass the pressure and temperature phenomena that produce them.

When these compounds are placed for combustion, they can produce various gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, as well as other combustion products.

To some extent, this gas is required to be required to make CO₂ For the environment, photosynthesis can be recycled in the oceans, simple diffusion or biochemical transformation, but there is a saturation between the recycling capacity and the distribution of these gases. Then, There is a lack of control that causes global warming phenomena.

But the carbon menu still has other dishes. The graffiti you use in the pen or pen is the forms of the atomic organization of this element. More than that, plastic and wood containing these ‘mines’ also have touches of the element.

And return to the exclusion of the love represented in cold rocks, Diamond is nothing but a well -organized carbon formMolecular arrangement processes were applied under the influence of high pressure and temperature.

Do you remember saying that I have a good part of the six elements on it? Under ideal conditions, you can be a diamond in the formation, but the worst, in some thousands of years, you can also be the oil with a good market value.

Carbon Trusting

In addition to the configuration of life and subsidies for survival, carbon performs other functions. It can be found in the form of 12, 13 and 14 isotopes. Carbon-12 It is used by measurement pattern for all atomic masses of other elements.

Previously, this calculation was based on oxygen data, but in the mid -1961, IUPAC (International Pure and Applied Chemical Union) decided to make a change by adopting the Committee of International Weights and Measurements a few years later.

A very interesting carbon is also available. Isotopu is 14 radioactive and releases the signature of degradation over time. Everything that is element can be dated according to this radiation half -life ratio.

Therefore, you may have encountered several titles that explain that archaeologists, geologists or other scientists have managed to determine a specific fossil or work history.

Almost everything is literally, so don’t be surprised if it starts to notice the amount of things that take the ‘Carbo’ prefix. Steel peaks that support the body, technology, home, engagement ring, glass cutter, diamond sanding paper, Everything has a carbon touch.

And do you think all kinds of carbon good heat and electrical conductors do you think? Tip: A certain disorder can be more efficient than perfect alignment.

What else do you have to share about carbon? In our social networks, tell me other uses and features that this versatile element may have, and in the Valentine’s Day climate, which element and the uniqueness of your love.

When preparing the presentation of the seventh element of the periodic table, know what will happen if we try to mix the entire 118 component of the table. Until later!
