I have a Chemistry assignment and one of the questions are to write a balanced equation for my element, which is carbon.
What would be a balanced equation for carbon?

C+4 + 4e- -------> C(s) 0 charge <-------Reduction
or
C(s) (remember, 0 charge) -------> C+4 + 4e- <----- Oxidation
This is the only thing that I can think of that the teacher may possibly be asking. Are you sure you gave enough info? Hope this helps! Check with the teacher to make sure that he or she meant Oxidation/Reduction reaction.

Maybe they mean a balanced equation for a reaction of, or the formation of, your element?
