element of the month
Carbon is the 4th most abundant element in the universe. It is an essential element for Life on Earth, being only the15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust. The largest sources of inorganic carbon are limestones, dolomites and carbon dioxide, but significant quantities also occur in organic deposits of coal, peat and oil. Carbon forms a vast number of compounds, more than any other element, being often referred to as the "king of the elements". Three simple carbon compounds well recognised are graphite, one of the softest known substances, diamond, the hardest naturally occurring substance, and carbon dioxide, a relevant green-house effect gas, responsible for climate changes.
