The discovery and history of carbon


 * Carbon was discovered in prehistory and was known to the earliest human civilizations, who manufactured it by burning wood in insufficient oxygen, making charcoal.In 1722, Rene A. F. de Reaumur demonstrated that iron was transformed into steel through the absorption of some substance, now known to be carbon. In 1772, Antoine Lavoisier showed that diamonds are a form of carbon, when he burned samples of carbon and diamond then showed that neither produced any water and that both released the same amount of carbon dioxide per gram. Carl Wilhelm Scheele showed that graphite, which had been thought of as a form of lead, was instead a type of carbon. In 1786, the French scientists Claude Louis Berthollet, Gaspard Monge and C. A. Vandermonde then showed that this substance was carbon.In their publication they proposed the name carbone which is Latin for this element. Antoine Lavoisier listed carbon as an element in his 1789. The name of carbon comes from Latin carbo, hence comes French charbon, meaning charcoal. In German, Dutch and Danish, the names for carbon are Kohlenstoff, koolstof and kulstof respectively, all literally meaning coal-substance.**

Common or proper use of carbon ** The common use on carbon are fossil fuels methane gas, Diamonds, Crude oil such as petroleum, Radiocarbon dating, Smoke detectors, Graphite carbon used as charcoal for cooking & artwork, Gasoline, Kerosene, Carbon monoxide - dioxide The most common uses of Carbon are in Fossil fuels methane and Carbon Fiber. **
