I am writing about diamonds in the left side column. Let’s pretend that I run a business that sells diamonds. Underneath this but of text I might put a button to go buy diamonds. I will offer you a diamonds for 3 emeralds. Also equivocal to 13 loafs of bread. Hmmmmmm.
I like rocks alot….. is it obvious? some rocks are pure elements, but others are an amalgamation of many different compounds made in many different ways.
Carbon is a chemical element, it’s symbol is C. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent- meaning that its atoms are able to form up to four covalent bonds due to its valence shell exhibiting 4 electrons.

History
The English name carbon comes from the Latin carbo for coal and charcoal, it also comes from the French charbon, meaning charcoal. Carbon was discovered prehistory and was known in the forms of soot and charcoal to the earliest human civilizations, in the form of charcoal. Antoine Lavoisier formally recognized and listed it as an element in 1789, proving diamonds and charcoal were the same substance.
Usages
Carbon is used in carbon fiber, makes lightweight, strong materials for cars, aircraft and sporting goods, fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas, batteries and capacitors, graphite and carbon nanotubes are used in energy storage, activated carbon, excellent for water and air purification, medicines & chemicals, organic compounds, and diamonds are a form of carbon.
“Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive materials very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.”
Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that had to be conquered or feared, but is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? Let’s explore this concept.
The Facts
Many people believe that radiation Illnesses are a major factor for dying of cancers, but the facts just don’t back this up.
Illness
Rate
Skin Cancer
60,000-90,000
Smoking
7,000,000 (1.5m from secondhand smoke)
Acute Radiation Syndrome
60-100 SINCE WWII
Per Capita Mortality of different dieseases
The Truth
Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurement, of this risk, but in most cases, radioactive material the most people can gain access to is not very dangerous. We have lived along side it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting it and storing it very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.
The Metric System has been adopted by most of the world, but in The United States of America it never really caught on. There are some major measurements that can be made in Metric. The primary sizes are as such.
Meter – length
gram – mass
kilogram
Celsius – -temperature
candela – luminosity
liter – volume
“If God wanted us to use the metric system, he would have given us ten fingers and ten toes.”
