Answers
Answer:
Reactivity: Carbon does not dissolve in, or react with, water or acids. Chains of Atoms: Carbon has the ability to make long strings, or chains, of atoms. Compounds: Carbon forms more compounds than all other elements combined; several million carbon compounds are known
Carbon has several allotropes, or different forms in which it can exist. These allotropes include graphite and diamond, which have very different properties. Despite carbon's ability to make 4 bonds and its presence in many compounds, it is highly unreactive under normal conditions.
