FAVORITE CHEMICAL ELEMENT ? BRIAN & ANGELA

MY FAVOURITE ELEMENT IS CARBON ~ ELEMENT OF LIFE ~ BRIAN ~ 5 7 2 SONNET
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THERE ARE 92 NATURAL ELEMENTS OUT OF WHICH
Everything on Planet Earth is made ! Some play a very
Important part in all our lives. An example is IRON which
Is the major element in STEEL which has thousands of
Different applications in the TWENTY FIRST CENTURY !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did I opt for CARBON & Why is it ~ ELEMENT of LIFE ?
All living species (FLORA & FAUNA) are made from COMPOUNDS
of CARBON (Organic Compounds). These include PROTEINS
CARBOHYDRATES & LIPIDS (Fats & Oils). This provides nutrients
for all living species through complex FOOD CHAINS & FOOD
WEBS and of course FOOD for MAN ! If these componds of
CARBON were not available there could be NO LIFE on EARTH.

ELEMENTAL CARBON exists in two major solid forms GRAPHITE
And DIAMOND which have very important applications in the 21st C !
