The Structures and Properties of Carbon.
|
Byline: Olivia M. Castellini, George C. Lisensky, Jennifer Ehrlich, Greta M. Zenner, Wendy C. Crone
Carbon is a constituent element of DNA, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and makes up approximately 20% of the human body. Carbon symbolizes love and commitment in some cultures and is scratched on paper to express ideas. It is a key ingredient in the fossil fuels used to power our cities and vehicles and is used in industry as coke in steel making, carbon black in printing, and activated charcoal in water treatment (Emsley 1998). Not surprisingly, carbon is also a key…
