Exercise 3
Answer the given questions:
1. What is the symbol of the element carbon?
-The symbol of the element carbon is C
2. Where does its name come from?
-Carbon gets its name from the Latin word carbo, which means “coal.”
3. What are isotopes?
-Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron
number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have
the same numbers of neutrons in each atom.
4. What are the most common isotopes of carbon?
- By far the most common isotopes of carbon is carbon-12 and carbon-13,
Carbon-12 (12C) contains 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Carbon-13
(13C), the next heaviest carbon isotope, contains 6 protons, 7 neutrons and 6
electrons. Both are called stable isotopes since they do not decay into other
forms or elements over time.
5. What is its phase at room temperature?
-Carbon is a non-metal element. At room temperature it is in a Solid state.

Carbon forms (1.) Covalent bonds with atoms of carbon or other elements. It has
(2.) Four (4) valence electrons, so it can achieve a full outer energy level by
forming four covalent bonds. When it bonds only with hydrogen, it forms
Carbon can form (4.) Single, (5) Double (6.) Triple covalent bonds with other
carbon atoms. Pure carbon can exist in different forms, depending on how its
atoms are arranged. The forms include (7). Diamond, (8). Graphite (9.) Fullerenes
Diamond is the hardest natural substance. It is used for (10). Cutting and (11).
Industry as well as for (12.) Beauty and other pieces of (13.) Jewelry. Graphite is
