A nonmetallic element with atomic symbol C, atomic number 6, and atomic weight 12.011. It may occur as several different allotropes including DIAMOND; CHARCOAL; and GRAPHITE.

A nonmetallic element occurring in nature as the diamond and as graphite, and in coal, charcoal, coke, etc., and all organic substances; anything made of carbon, as the rod of an arc lamp.

Carbonaceous.

A non-metallic tetrad element, symbol C, atomic weight 12. It occurs in two forms; the diamond and graphite, and also occurs in impure form in charcoal, coke, and soot. It is found in all living tissues, and the study of its vast number of compounds constitutes organic chemistry.

A non-metallic element, the constituent of atmosphere, coal, charcoal, diamond and graphite.

An elementary substance, widely diffused, of which pure charcoal is an example.

Pure charcoal.

Pure charcoal.

A non metallic chemical element; pure charcoal.

Pure charcoal, existing pure only in the diamond.

A tetrad element found in charcoal, diamond, and graphite.

A non-metallic element occurring in nature uncombined, in the form of anthracite, the diamond, and graphite. Wood charcoal, lampblack, and animal charcoal consist almost entirely of elementary c. Combined with oxygen, it occurs to a small extent in the atmosphere, and in the form of organic compounds it is found in all animal and vegetable tissues. It is also found as a relic of extinct animal and vegetable organisms in the form of carbonates (chalk, coral, limestone) and of coal, and its occurrence in petroleum is probably of like origin. It is also produced (in the form of lampblack, gas c, or charcoal by the incomplete combustion of animal or vegetable tissue. Chemical symbol C. Atomic weight, 12.

dioxid. See carbon dioxid, under carbon

n. [Latin] An elementary substance, forming the base of charcoal, and entering largely into mineral coals and black lead.
