The Element Carbon


This is one of the marvelous elements that can be found in the universe. The reason for its magic is that it is present in all known lifeforms. If there is carbon somewhere in the universe, then there is a potential for life! While being the fourth most abundant element of the known universe, it is the second most abundant element found in the human body. Due to the extraordinary abilities of carbon under the temperature found on earth, carbon is called the chemical basis of all known life.

Carbon is commercially extracted from graphite deposits. It has a wide range of uses and its virtually endless. Diamonds are a product of carbon that is structured producing the hardest material that can be found naturally.
