ABSTRACT
The element carbon has four outer va of Group IV in the periodic table. Th
more metallic in nature with in temperature, carbon is relatively ine covalent bonds with itself and many the basis for all life on Earth. It is in element down in the group and also w of the composition for nearly all of the
With four valence electrons, carbo gaining four electrons to achieve a no tends to share its four electrons via c and lead, the heaviest elements in valence electrons find it energetically
Carbon reacts with metals to form non-metals to form molecular compou form carbon monoxide CO and carb form cyanides (e.g. HCN).
