CIDE DICTIONARY

carbonn. [F. carbone, fr. L. carbo coal; cf. Skr. to cook.].
  •  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.  [1913 Webster]
  •  A carbon rod or pencil used in an arc lamp; also, a plate or piece of carbon used as one of the elements of a voltaic battery.  [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  •  a sheet of carbon paper.  [PJC]
  •  a carbon copy.  [PJC]
    "The formation of the compounds of carbon is not dependent upon the life process."
