- 3. Other Facts OnCarbon Physical - Chemical Characteristics: Solid Graphite, Diamond Density: Approximately 2.2 cm3 Melting Point: 3823 K (3550°C or 6422°F) Boiling Point: 4098 K (3825°C or 6917°F) Group Number: 14
- 4. History - Discovery Discoverer(s):Prehistoric humans Location Discovered: Unknown Year Discovered: Unknown Name Origin: Carbo (Latin) Diamonds is proven to be the pure form of carbon During 1769
- 5. Usage Diamond -- Thesegemstones are cut and brought in jewelry. Industrial diamonds are used in tools like drill bits and are designed to cut into heavy materials like stone or metal. Food -- As Sodium Bicarbonate, it creates ‘bubble’ that make cookies and cakes light and flaky. Graphite -- Used as lead for both wooden and mechanical pencils. Fuel & Energy -- In the form of coal, it is widely used in electrical power plants to generate energy. In developing countries, it is used as a more efficient means over wood for heating the home and cooking. Steel -- Combining carbon with iron results in steel.
