Carbon And The Three Other Major Elements And Their Importance:
<p>Carbon is an element which has an atomic number of 6 is also known as the backbone of organic chemistry meaning that almost all if not all reactions which occur organically must include a Carbon atom and the structure of the element is such that it has a tetrahedral shape and can form four covalent bonds with other elements which is great for reactions. Uses of Carbon are vast, but the most common ones are:</p>
<p>Carbon dioxide in the air which is extremely important for plants as they require it for anaerobic reactions which occur at night, another use of carbon is of its isotope C14 which as stated in the Article “The radioisotope 14C has a period of 5,730 years and is commonly used for the dating of archaeological objects up to 50,000 years”(Aversa et al.,2016 p.1193)</p>
