The usual stable isotope is carbon-12; carbon-13, another stable isotope, makes up 1% of natural carbon. Carbon-14 is the most stable and best known of five radioactive isotopes (see radioactivity); its half-life of approximately 5,730 years makes it useful in carbon-14 dating and radiolabeling of research compounds. Carbon occurs in four known allotropes: diamond, graphite, carbon black (amorphous carbon including coal, coke, and charcoal), and hollow cage molecules called fullerenes. Carbon forms more compounds than all other elements combined; several million carbon compounds are known. Each carbon atom forms four bonds (four single bonds, two single and one double bond, two double bonds, or one single and one triple bond) with up to four other atoms. Multitudes of chain, branched, ring, and three-dimensional structures can occur. The study of these carbon compounds and their properties and reactions is organic chemistry (see organic compound). With hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and a few other elements whose small amounts belie their important roles, carbon forms the compounds that make up all living things: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Biochemistry is the study of how those compounds are synthesized and broken down and how they associate with each other in living organisms. Organisms consume carbon and return it to the environment in the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide, produced when carbon is burned and from biological processes, makes up about 0.03% of the air, and carbon occurs in Earth's crust as carbonate rocks and the hydrocarbons in coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The oceans contain large amounts of dissolved carbon dioxide and carbonates. carbon cycle carbon dioxide carbon monoxide carbon steel carbon 14 dating

carbon cycle
a thermonuclear reaction in the interior of stars the organic circulation of carbon from the atmosphere into organisms and back again
carbon cycle
Circulation through nature of carbon in the form of the simple element and its compounds. The source of carbon in living things is carbon dioxide (CO2) from air or dissolved in water. Algae and green plants (producers) use CO2 in photosynthesis to make carbohydrates, which in turn are used in the processes of metabolism to make all other compounds in their tissues and those of animals that consume them. The carbon may pass through several levels of herbivores and carnivores (consumers). Animals and, at night, plants return the CO2 to the atmosphere as a by-product of respiration. The carbon in animal wastes and in the bodies of organisms is released as CO2 in a series of steps by decay organisms (decomposers), chiefly bacteria and fungi (see fungus). Some organic carbon (the remains of organisms) has accumulated in Earth's crust in fossil fuels, limestone, and coral. The carbon of fossil fuels, removed from the cycle in prehistoric times, is being returned in vast quantities as CO2 via industrial and agricultural processes, some accumulating in the oceans as dissolved carbonates and some staying in the atmosphere (see greenhouse effect)

carbon dioxide
Common gas found in the atmosphere Has the ability to selectively absorb radiation in the longwave band This absorption causes the greenhouse effect The concentration of this gas has been steadily increasing in the atmosphere over the last three centuries due to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and land-use change Some scientists believe higher concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will result in an enhancement of the greenhouse effect and global warming The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO2

carbon dioxide
This gas is produced when anything organic is burned, and has no direct health effects - in fact the human body produces it when you breath out However CO2 plays an important role in adding to the greenhouse effect, which keeeps the earth warm In turn this is adding to global warming By burning fuel, road vehicles produce 19% of the UK's man-made CO2 emissions

carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a gas. It is produced by animals and people breathing out, and by chemical reactions. A colorless, odorless, incombustible gas, CO, formed during respiration, combustion, and organic decomposition and used in food refrigeration, carbonated beverages, inert atmospheres, fire extinguishers, and aerosols. Also called carbonic acid gas. the gas produced when animals breathe out, when carbon is burned in air, or when animal or vegetable substances decay. Inorganic compound, a colourless gas with a faint, sharp odour and a sour taste when dissolved in water, chemical formula CO2. Constituting about 0.03% of air by volume, it is produced when carbon-containing materials burn completely, and it is a product of fermentation and animal respiration. Plants use CO2 in photosynthesis to make carbohydrates. CO2 in Earth's atmosphere keeps some of the Sun's energy from radiating back into space (see greenhouse effect). In water, CO2 forms a solution of a weak acid, carbonic acid (H2CO3). The reaction of CO2 and ammonia is the first step in synthesizing urea. An important industrial material, CO2 is recovered from sources including flue gases, limekilns, and the process that prepares hydrogen for synthesis of ammonia. It is used as a refrigerant, a chemical intermediate, and an inert atmosphere; in fire extinguishers, foam rubber and plastics, carbonated beverages (see carbonation), and aerosol sprays; in water treatment, welding, and cloud seeding; and for promoting plant growth in greenhouses. Under pressure it becomes a liquid, the form most often used in industry. If the liquid is allowed to expand, it cools and partially freezes to the solid form, dry ice
carbon dioxide
a colourless, odorless, aned slightly acid-tasting gas molecule which consists of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen (CO2) It is produced in a variety of ways: by combustion or oxidation of materials containing carbon, such as coal, wood, oil, or foods; by fermentation of sugars and by decompostion of carbonates under the influence of heat or acids Carbon dioxide is a vital source to the Greenhouse Effect There are small amounts of it in the atmosphere to keep reflected heat from escaping Humans have made buildings and machines that release CO2 into the air The CO2 count in the air has nearly doubled since the beginning of the industrial era Trees help remove CO2 from the air as a natural process, but as humans keep on cutting down trees, there will be fewer and fewer recycled molecules of CO2, causing more carbon dioxide to be in the air Large amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere causes more heat to be kept in, causing global warming
carbon dioxide

carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide, a normal product of burning fuel, is non-toxic, but contributes to the greenhouse effect (global warming) All petroleum (hydrocarbon) fuels cause increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels because they represent the combustion of fossilized carbon By contrast, using renewable fuels, such as ethanol, does not increase atmospheric carbon dioxide levels The carbon dioxide formed during combustion is balanced by that absorbed during the annual growth of plants used to produce ethanol

carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that is produced especially by the engines of vehicles. A colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas, CO, formed by the incomplete combustion of carbon or a carbonaceous material, such as gasoline. a poisonous gas produced when carbon, especially in petrol, burns in a small amount of air. Inorganic compound, a highly toxic, colourless, odourless, flammable gas, chemical formula CO. It is produced when carbon (including coal and coke) or carbon-containing fuel (including petroleum hydrocarbons; e.g., gasoline, fuel oil) does not burn completely to carbon dioxide, because of insufficient oxygen. CO is present in the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines and furnaces. It is toxic because it binds to hemoglobin in blood much more strongly than does oxygen and thus interferes with transport of oxygen from lungs to tissues (see hypoxia; respiration). Symptoms of CO poisoning range from headache, nausea, and syncope to coma, weak pulse, respiratory failure, and death. CO is used industrially as a fuel and in synthesis of numerous organic compounds, including methanol, ethylene, and aldehydes
