: The most common [[isotope]] of [[carbonCarbon]] is [[Carbon-12]] which has 6 [[proton]]s and 6 [[neutron]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
: [[Carbon]] is in [[Period]] 2 of the [[Periodic Table]] because it has 2 [[Electron Orbital|electron shells]].
: [[Carbon]] has 4 [[electron]]s in its [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] so it can form 4 [[bond]]s with other [[atom]]s.
====Properties====
: [[Carbon]] is [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].
: The different [[allotropes]] have different [[Melting Point|melting points]] and different [[Electrical Conductivity|electrical conductivity]].
