Our planet is beautiful, isn't it? Earth has such diverse flora and fauna; it's truly awe inspiring.But do you know the commonality between all the objects? It is Carbon.
METHANE
ISO-OCTANE
Earth supports a Carbon based life-form. It can happen because Carbon has the ability to form long chain 🔗 like structure with other carbon atoms as well as other elements.
BUTADLENE
ACETYLENE
BENZENE
FUN FACT!
DNA can have more than 1.5 billion carbon atoms in a single molecule!
Do you know that EVERYTHING consists of Carbon?
Woww! That is so cool.
You know , Carbon also has a staggering number of forms. In fact, the total number of Carbon compounds are higher than any other element's compound from the periodic table.This is possible because of Catenation - two carbon atoms form covalent bonds, which is more stable than any other elements' bonds.
hmm
I get it! It is just like the buildings in this city. The buildings being the Carbon and nature being other elements' compounds.
First is the hardest material known to humankind. Second we use this material to write.Third is found in our food to make it sweet.
Now, you must have understood that Carbon is extremely versatile. Can you guess some forms of carbon that we encounter commonly?
Any hints?
The hardest material is Diamond. We write with Graphite pencils. Carbohydrates are naturally present in fruits and vegetables to sweeten our food and give us energy.
WOW! Someone is paying attention in class.
Oh yes! I know now. Online learning is not complete futile, haha.
