We, humans, use carbon so much that we can&rsquo;t think of living without carbon and its compounds.</p> <p>Carbon is an element formed in stars during a process called &ldquo;Nucleosynthesis&rdquo;. This is the process by which smaller nuclei fuse together to form larger nuclei.</p> <p>Carbon is an element of extreme importance in today&rsquo;s world not just in the fuel sector but also in the pharmaceutical industry as well in factories and large industries.</p> <p>Carbon is an element of the periodic table that has an atomic number of 6 and a mass number is 12.011u it has 6 electrons of which 4 are its valence electrons. It has a valency of 4. That is why it forms large compounds that are necessary for life and this property of carbon is known as &ldquo;catenation&rdquo;.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@asifgill202pubg/carbon-an-element-of-life-174fe24ac469"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
