Chemical Reactions

Carbon forms more compounds than any other element with almost ten million compounds discovered to date – a tiny fraction of all theoretically possible. Carbon especially likes to bond with other small atoms, including other carbon atoms, and is capable of forming long chains of complex and stable compounds which is why it is found in so many different forms on Earth.

Carbon is the poster child for perfection when bonding, which our students will better understand after investigating the topics in this instructional segment.
