Carbon is the fourth most abundant element found on Earth‚ and is essential to all life as we know it. It is found in all living substances‚ and is essentially the key element for life. Because the carbon atom has the ability to form bonds with up to four other atoms‚ it can help form solid minerals (such “ limestone)‚ ‘squishy’ organisms (such as plants and animals)‚ and it can be dissolved in water. Carbon is also present in rocks‚ dissolved in rivers‚ lakes and oceans‚ and is in the atmosphere

Since carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is accumulating rapidly because of burning fossil fuel‚ coal‚ oil and natural gas for power generation‚ transportation‚ industrial and domestic uses‚ our earth has been facing global warming‚ sea level rising‚ flooding and other adverse changes which damage to our ecosystem. To address this challenge‚ we need to find out other alternative ways that do not produce carbon dioxide or that reduce the release of enormous amount of carbon dioxide gases

Carbon and Its Compounds Carbon: Introduction Atomic Number: 6 Electronic Configuration: 2‚ 4. Valence electrons: 4 Property: Non-metal Abundance:- Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in universe and 15th most abundant substance in the earth’s crust. Compounds having carbon atoms among the components are known as carbon compounds. Previously‚ carbon compounds could only be obtained from a living source; hence they are also known as organic compounds. Bonding In Carbon:- The Covalent

around the United States or around the world are facing against Global Warming and how it is causing the sea level water to rise to a certain risky level that will push it to invade the coastal regions‚ particularly California’s coast. The news article is conveying the idea of mass augmentation of the water level and how it will affect the world’s ocean‚ vast wave movements that will tackle most coastal regions‚ and how this problem can be solved. Waves can be one of the most brutal ways to “wash

Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations. Every year‚ at least 430 people die in the U. S. from accidental CO poisoning. It is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities. In the atmosphere‚ it has a role in the formation of ground-level ozone. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom‚ connected by a triple

Peradeniya Functions of Blood * Blood is pumped by the heart through blood vessels‚ which extend throughout the body. * Blood helps to maintain homeostasis in several ways. 1. Transport of gases‚ nutrients‚ and waste products. * Oxygen enters blood in the lungs and is carried to cells. * Carbon dioxide‚ produced by cells‚ is carried in the blood to the lungs‚ from which it is expelled. * Ingested nutrients‚ ions‚ and water are transported by the blood from the digestive tract
