About Carbon

Carbon is a nonmetal with atomic number 6 that forms an unusually wide variety of structures and chemical bonds. Graphite is used in electrical brushes and furnace linings, while diamond provides hardness for cutting and drilling tools. Carbon fibers reinforce lightweight composites, and activated carbon provides porous surfaces for filtration and purification.
