An elementary substance, not metallic in its nature, which is
present in all organic compounds. Atomic weight 11.97. Symbol
C. it is combustible, and forms the base of lampblack and
charcoal, and enters largely into mineral coals. In its pure
crystallized state it constitutes the diamond, the hardest of
known substances, occuring in monometric crystals like the
octahedron, etc. Another modification is graphite, or
blacklead, and in this it is soft, and occurs in hexagonal
prisms or tables. When united with oxygen it forms carbon
dioxide, commonly called carbonic acid, or carbonic oxide,
according to the proportions of the oxygen; when united with
hydrogen, it forms various compounds called hydrocarbons.
Compare Diamond, and Graphite.

1. That branch of science which treats of the composition of
substances, and of the changes which they undergo in

the finest grade of subdivision hitherto attained.

constitution of molecules. See Atom, Molecule.
