P6+-+Carbon

=Carbon Group= The Carbon Group of The Periodic Table of Elements is the base of organic chemistry and forms the most compounds except for hydrogen. Their period symbol is 6 and their element symbol is C. **Carbon** (C) is a nonmetellic element on the Periodic Table of Elements, is part of Group 14 (Vla), and is found in nature. Carbon is all around us in nature but only makes up 0.025 percent of the Earth's Crust, a rather small amount. They are usually solids, but can be made into gases and liquids.

Silicon, or silicate minerals, is sand and is also found in the Earth's Crust.
 * Tin and Lead** (Sn, Pb) is also part of the Carbon Group and are found in the lower part of the crust beneath rare minerals. They are common in everyday life and are found in mineral deposits. They can be found in a metallic state within these deposits. **Germanium** (Ge) is another element that is part of the carbon group. Germanium is usually found in coal and in the mineral //zinc blende//. It is considered a rarer element but can be found in small concentrations in the places already listed.
