Its melting point​
is 3823 K, 3550ºC, or 6422ºF. Carbon’s ​
boiling point ​
is 4098 K, 3825ºC, or 6917ºF. The C
​olor ​
of carbon varies a lot, it can range from black and grey to yellow and clear. Carbon has been k
​nown since ​
ancient times, Carbon, is derived from the latin word carbo, meaning charcoal. Carbon is from ancient times, no specific location given. There is n
​o clear founder ​
scientist of Carbon. ​
Carbon was discovered 3750 BC A.L. Lavoisier proposed ​
carbon​
in 1789 to be recognized as an element. Carbon​
, the sixth most abundant element in the universe. Carbon, is most commonly obtained from coal deposits, but it must be processes for commercial use. Carbon can be used as fuel, and as graphite for pencil tips. <​

● Carbon is an allotrope, it can be in many forms such as graphite which is soft and black, or clear in diamond form and very very hard. (Diamond is a 10 on the 45
moh’s hardness scale) ● Carbon does not react with water, acids, or other liquid material. FUN FACT!!!!­Combustion of charcoal or carbon gave rise to the industrial revolution!!!!(1700­1900) ● ● Works Cited ● Gagnon, Steve. "The Element Carbon." ​

> GRANT HAIKU 2!!!! Atomic weight 12 Has 6 protons and neutrons In family 14 (14 is a number so it is just 1 syllable so it works) GRANT HAIKU 3!!!! ((I know by this point my haiku’s are making your day) Carbon is spartan! Recognized element 1789 No reaction (with) water Just a little atom joke
