is carbon a solid,liquid,or gas?

Answer 1

Under ordinary conditions, it's a solid.

You'll find it as diamond, graphite, and various "bucky" structures.

Answer 2

You can combine carbon with other elements to put it into a gas form C02. But as an element it is a solid.
Gas, liquid, and solid are known as the three states of matter or material, but each of solid and liquid states may exist in one or more forms. Thus, another term is required to describe the various forms, and the term phase is used. Each distinct form is called a phase, but the concept of phase defined as a homogeneous portion of a system, extends beyond a single material, because a phase may also involve several materials. For example, a homogeneous solution of any number of substances is a one-phase system. Phase is a concept used to explain many physical and chemical changes (reactions).
A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume but it takes the shape of a container whereas a gas fills the entire volume of a container. You already know that diamond and graphite are solids made up of the element carbon. They are two phases of carbon, but both are solids.

Solids are divided into subclasses of amorphous (or glassy) solids and crystalline solids. Arrangements of atoms or molecules in crystalline solids are repeated regularly over a very long range of millions of atoms, but their arrangements in amorphous solids are somewhat random or short range of say some tens or hundreds of atoms.

Answer 3

RE:

Answer 4

carbon in the form of Coal or Carbon Paper is a SOLID; in the form of Carbon Dioxide is a GAS, and as Carbonic Acid, can be a LIQUID, so the answer to your question is: It depends on what FORM of Carbon you are asking about.

Answer 5

In pure form, solid.

Answer 6

Answer 7

solid

Answer 8

gas.

Answer 9

YES!
