P9+-+Carbon

=__Carbon!__ = The group that carbon is in is, 4B.

The different elements that are in the carbon period is boron, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon. The elements in the carbon group are:


 * Silicon [[image:carbon.gif align="right"]]
 * Germanium
 * Tin
 * Lead

Carbon is a solid. It is classified as a solid because carbon is a rock.  There are different physical properties of carbon. One is it’s a pure form as diamonds or graphite. Another physical property is the atomic mass average which is 12.011. The last one is it’s obtained from coal deposits.  Some of the chemical properties of Carbon include combustion, oxidation, addition reaction, and substitution reaction.

A few interesting facts about Carbon is that it is used in smoke detectors and diamonds. Carbon also has the highest melting and sublimation point of all the elements. It has a melting point of about 3550 degrees Celsius, and a sublimation point of about 3800 degrees Celsius. It is the fourth most abundant element in the world.

Some common uses of Carbon are:
 * Carbon monoxide/dioxide
 * Diamonds
 * Graphite
 * Pencils
 * Smoke detectors
 * Gasoline
 * Kerosene
