Diamonds are Forever

04/02/2011 11:12 AM

Carbon is the chemical element with atomic number six, it is non metallic and tetravalent -making four electrons available to form covalent chemcal bonds. There are three normal and naturally occurring isotopes with Carbon-12, and Carbon-13, being stable, while Carbon-14, happen to be radioactive, decaying with a half-life of about 5730years. Carbon is ne of few elements, known since antiquity. Carbon comes from latin language "Carbo", Coal. There are several allotropes of Carbon, of which, the best known are, graphite, diamond and amorphous Carbon. The physical properties of Carbon, vary wdely with the allotropic form; e.g Diamond is highly transparent, while graphite is opaque and black. Diamond has a very low electrical conductivity, while graphite is a good conductor. Diamond, being among the hardest materials known, while graphite is soft enough, to form a streak on paper. Graphite is a Greek word - "to write". Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of all known materials. All the allotropic forms are solids, under normal conditions but graphite is the most "thermodynamcally" stable. All forms of Carbon are highly stable, requiring high temperature to react even with oxygen.

I don't give a flying toss what your qualifications are - what is your point? Why are you posting stuff here that anyone with half an ounce of wit could find in seconds on the internet (if they didn't already know it)?

This looks like a schoolchild's effort at a homework answer, posted here for approbation (or otherwise).

Why else would you be wasting bandwidth?

Carbon is an essential part of engineering, and the production of Carbon Steel is a fundamental structural constitution of U.S.A.

You have posted elsewhere "Acid precipitation is caused primarily by the presence of Carbonic ... contamination of the Lower strata of the atmospheric ... precipitate."

So that makes carbon bad, right? Come on now, which is is going to be boy, good ... or ... bad?

So, what's your point?

Do you expect someone to pat you on the back for copying some text and pasting it here?

Your posts smack of arrogance, and ignorance at the same time. Quite a feat. Only Krepesky and joe.fordham and maybe one or two others have exhibited your type of total lack of intelligence when pretending to be someone with something important so say.

Well, Bozo, let me tell you, there is nothing you could ever say, except goodbye, that I'd want to hear.

This is radical stuff. You, truly are a joe.fordham class lunatic.

As I told another guy, or possibly just a different personality of yours, those who say they are the of mouth of God tend to be best known and recognized for talking out their ass.

I remember learning these basic chemistry facts back around 7th grade when I was 12 or 13 so does that mean can I have a doctorates degree too now?

Diamonds are forever and some peoples stupidity is vacuum that can not be filled.

Harder than diamond, lighter than Hydrogen, stronger than titanium...

I'm eager to see this discussion!

Titanium ain't actually 'strong' as such - he said - starting that discussion.

Your highness,

It is not the site where your tremendous knowledge about James Bond movies will be recognized and appreciated as it deserves. Few will know that the author Jan Fleming was a secret agent himself. There is an other movie where diamonds play an important role I bet you know it.

But let us be serious, did you enjoy the movies and the actors play?

Because what you write about carbon is incomplete you forgot a very important form in which the atoms (64 of them or more if my memory is still efficient) form a kind of sphere. And this form can be for some applications even more important than diamonds!

Why do you not make a short notice about it ? I would suggest Goggle and wikipedia as sources.If you consider their level too high you may use some manuals for "x"- grade ( I am not American and I do not exactly know how the grades in school are organized)

sincerely yours, Nick Name

64 was ... a little far ... ahem ... 4 off.

You would be more correct if you were far ... ahem ... 4 out.

After all ... it seems you are trying to introduce a Buckey ball ... to a Goof ball.

In Dutch ... carbon ... is a ticket for speeding ... hey I thought i'd just throw that out there for thoroughness.

Well, it was nice talking with you Doctor. I guess the other Doctors must've turned up, and taken you somewhere safe.

Maybe we can have another little chat when they let you out again in 2012?

Bye for now - have a nice year .

Ok, I am here to bow to you if you can prove that what you posted is original, Not known before, Or if its known and you can give a legitimate reason of posting it here,

Please remove your email address to prevent spam. This can be done easily by deleting your account.

There are other ways, but after having a look at your web page..................

Do you actually have a question or point regarding carbon that you wish to discuss? If not, a simple link to the carbon page on Wikipedia would have been easier.

Why do I get the feeling this is just a ploy for attention and to advertise you website <ahem> 'content'.
