Carbon (article written by Newlyn Pierre)
Carbon is a very important atom and is in many things. It can also be known as a central element of life and is the base of it because of it’s bonding abilities. Humans have 2/3 of carbon in them, so that means you have it, I have it, every living object that we know of on earth has carbon.. There are also non-living things that have carbon in them, like the led of pencils. Enough about what has carbon in it, here’s some other facts about carbon.

Carbon has four points of attachment meaning it can attach to many things at once. Carbon is basically the back bone or duct tape of life because so many living things need it to survive and it also keeps all the other atoms together. Like how our back bones keep all our other bones together.

There’s almost no limit to the kinds of structures that carbon can form. What happens when one carbon atom attaches to another carbon atom?
There’s almost no limit to the kinds of structures that carbon can form. What happens when one carbon atom attaches to another carbon atom?
When two carbon atoms attach to each other, they do so with considerable force.
Another thing that carbon does is that it makes us warm.
(Fun fact: the more you know about carbon, the more you want to know about global warming). Carrots and burning paper break carbon bonds.
What happens when a carbon bond breaks?
Carbon is a very special atom and when a carbon bond is broken, it wants to find a new partner preferably oxygen.
The carbon attaches to two oxygen atoms to create CO2
(Carbon dioxide)
Global warming:
It’s happening because of humans using too much carbon,
Yeah, humans need it to survive but they use carbon in other forms.
For example, the more people get rich, the more carbon they are getting.
The gas coming out of the car (not gasoline but like the smoke stuff coming
Out of the engine) is carbon dioxide(CO2)
People used a lot of gas before
Quarantine started. And it was really bad for the air.
Overall, global warming is about people’s choices and actions,
Not science.
How can we prevent global warming?
You can drive less (you can still drive but don’t drive like 24/7).
Recycle more
Spread the word. (You can also share this article if you want

A fun comic strip
:
In conclusion carbon is an essential Item we all need and should have but not too much of it.
