===Meaning===
[[Carbon]] is a [[Group 4]] [[non-metal]] [[element]] , on the [[Periodic Table]], with an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 6.
===About Carbon===
: [[Carbon]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Carbon|C]].
====Molecular Structure====
: [[Carbon]] has the can form giant [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbolmolecule]] s called [[Carbon|Cgraphite]] and [[diamond]].
====Atomic Structure====
: [[Carbon]] has 6 [[proton]]s and 6 [[neutron]]s in its [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] giving it an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 6 and a [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic mass]] of 12.
====Properties====
: [[Carbon]] is [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].

[[File:C-12_WK.PNG|right|200px|thumb|A 2 dimensional representation of the [[Bohr Model]] of a [[Carbon]]-12 [[isotope]] with 6 [[proton]]s and 6 [[neutron]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] and 2 [[electron]]s in the first [[Electron Orbital|shell]] and 4 in the [[Outer Shell|outer shell]].]]
===Meaning===
[[Carbon]] is a [[Group 4]] [[non-metal]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]] with 6 [[proton]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
===About Carbon===
: [[Carbon]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Carbon|C]].
====Molecular Structure====
: [[Carbon]] forms [[Covalent Bond|covalent bonds]] with other [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s to produce a [[Giant Covalent Structure|giant covalent structure]].
: [[Carbon]] is able to make long chains of [[atom]]s to produce [[compound]]s called [[polymer]]s.
There are several [[allotrope]]s of [[Carbon]] including:
*[[Graphite]]
*[[DiamoneDiamond]]
*[[Graphene]]
*[[Fullerenes]]

====Atomic Structure====
: 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 [[allotropesallotrope]] have different [[Melting Point|melting points]] and different [[Electrical Conductivity|electrical conductivity]]. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945598/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945598&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=ad276ad49df77ab4b40ab4fd0fe09738 ''Carbon, page 119, GCSE Combined Science; The Revision Guide, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0008158770/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0008158770&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=ec31595e720e1529e49876c3866fff6e ''Carbon, page 287, GCSE Physics; Student Book, Collins, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945571/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945571&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=9e29fad914244909903e5e93f8a01d66 ''Carbon, page 34, GCSE Chemistry; The Revision Guide, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359381/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359381&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=47c8d1ae58d8b3a5e2094cd447154558 ''Carbon, pages 49-51, 86, 88-89, 196, 223, GCSE Chemistry; Third Edition, Oxford University Press, AQA ''] ====Edexcel==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945725/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945725&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=694be7494de75af3349537d34e13f7f0 ''Carbon, pages 24, 55, GCSE Chemistry; The Revision Guide, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945741/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945741&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=30da4f2178da182547b62a7329d13b57 ''Carbon, pages 71, 87, 117, GCSE Combined Science; The Revision Guide, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945725/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945725&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=694be7494de75af3349537d34e13f7f0 ''Carbon; extraction of metals, page 55, GCSE Chemistry; The Revision Guide, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782948147/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782948147&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=f63dcd8345f4e49c717b39a228a36c7c ''Carbon; extraction of metals, pages 155, 156, GCSE Chemistry, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945725/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945725&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=694be7494de75af3349537d34e13f7f0 ''Carbon; giant covalent structures, page 24, GCSE Chemistry; The Revision Guide, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945741/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945741&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=30da4f2178da182547b62a7329d13b57 ''Carbon; giant covalent structures, page 87, GCSE Combined Science; The Revision Guide, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782948147/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782948147&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=f63dcd8345f4e49c717b39a228a36c7c ''Carbon; giant covalent structures, pages 62-64, GCSE Chemistry, CGP, Edexcel ''] ====OCR====:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359837/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359837&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=3c4229e8b023b2b60768e7ea2307cc6f ''Carbon, pages 171, 174, 179, Gateway GCSE Physics, Oxford, OCR '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359829/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359829&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=90e8d7b4f039d53035238fa0320fe00b ''Carbon; activated charcoal, page 198, Gateway GCSE Chemistry, Oxford, OCR '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359829/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359829&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=90e8d7b4f039d53035238fa0320fe00b ''Carbon; metal extinction, pages 206-207, Gateway GCSE Chemistry, Oxford, OCR '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359829/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359829&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=90e8d7b4f039d53035238fa0320fe00b ''Carbon; structures, pages 62-63, 74-75, 80, Gateway GCSE Chemistry, Oxford, OCR '']
