-General summary of elements Carbon Symbol - C Atomic Number- 6 Atomic Mass- 12.0 Electrons per shell- 2, 4 Carbon is a solid, non-metallic element that is found in stars, comets, and the atmospheres of most planets. It is naturally occurring, and is found in three different forms. They are: graphite, amorphous, and diamond. Artificial diamonds are made by the application of heat and pressure (> 125 knar) in the presence of a catalyst such as iron, chromium or …

…be accurately described, but scientists have figured that it is probably a solid metal that's probably silvery white or gray. Currently, it's the heaviest known element. Only about three atoms of Ununquadium has ever been made (through nuclear reaction involving fusing a calcium atom with a plutonium atom) isolation of an observable quantity has never been achieved, and may well never be. This element has also been called eka-lead, for its several similarities to lead.
