Carbon is the sixth element in the periodic table. Its bonding structure, which is extremely conducive to the formation of polymers, along with its relative abundance and stability, make it integral to the formation of life on Earth.
Allotropes of Carbon
Carbon, with its ability to form different types of bonds, forms several allotropes -
