ETIMOLOGÍA DE LA PALABRA CARBON
From French carbone, from Latin carbō charcoal, dead or glowing coal.
QUÉ SIGNIFICA CARBON EN INGLÉS
Carbón
El carbono es el elemento químico con el símbolo C y el número atómico 6. Como miembro del grupo 14 en la tabla periódica, es no metálico y tetravalente, lo que permite disponer de cuatro electrones para formar enlaces químicos covalentes. Existen tres isótopos naturales, siendo 12C y 13C estables, mientras que 14C es radiactivo, decayendo con una vida media de aproximadamente 5.730 años. El carbono es uno de los pocos elementos conocidos desde la antigüedad. Existen varios alótropos de carbono de los cuales los más conocidos son el grafito, el diamante y el carbono amorfo. Las propiedades físicas del carbono varían ampliamente con la forma alotrópica. Por ejemplo, el diamante es muy transparente, mientras que el grafito es opaco y negro. El diamante es el material natural más difícil conocido, mientras que el grafito es lo suficientemente blando como para formar una raya en el papel. El diamante tiene una conductividad eléctrica muy baja, mientras que el grafito es un conductor muy bueno. En condiciones normales, el diamante, el nanotubo de carbono y el grafeno tienen las conductividades térmicas más altas de todos los materiales conocidos. Todos los alótropos de carbono son sólidos en condiciones normales, siendo el grafito la forma más termodinámicamente estable.
definición de carbon en el diccionario inglés
La primera definición de carbono en el diccionario es un elemento no metálico que existe en las tres formas cristalinas: grafito, diamante y buckminsterfullereno: que se produce en el dióxido de carbono, carbón, petróleo y todos los compuestos orgánicos. El isótopo de carbono-12 se ha adoptado como el estándar para el peso atómico; El carbono 14, un radioisótopo con una vida media de 5700 años, se utiliza en la datación por radiocarbono y como marcador. Símbolo: C; número atómico: 6; peso atómico: 12.011; valencia: 2, 3 o 4; densidad relativa: 1.8-2.1, 1.9-2.3, 3.15-3.53; sublima a 3367 ± 25 ° C; punto de ebullición: 4827 ° C. Otra definición de carbono es un electrodo de carbono utilizado en una luz de arco de carbono o en una soldadura de arco de carbono. El carbono también es una barra o placa, hecha de carbono, que se usa en algunos tipos de batería.

10 CITAS EN INGLÉS CON «CARBON»
Citas y frases célebres con la palabra
carbon.
On the environmental front there's concern about global warming and high levels of carbon dioxide, and trees take in CO2 and store carbon.
When you have energy companies like Shell and British Petroleum, both of which are perhaps represented in this room, saying there is a problem with excess carbon dioxide emission, I think we ought to listen.
I don't believe that a hydrogen economy depends on a carbon economy at all.
Preventing global warming from becoming a planetary catastrophe may take something even more drastic than renewable energy, superefficient urban design, and global carbon taxes.
Carbon dioxide isn't the only greenhouse gas out there. Other substances, such as water vapor and nitrous oxide, also trap heat to varying degrees.
I think the Caribbean countries face rising oceans and they face increase in the severity of hurricanes. This is something that is very, very scary to all of us. The island states in the world represent - I remember this number - one-half of 1 percent of the carbon emissions in the world. And they will - some of them will disappear.
A majority of American citizens are now becoming skeptical of the claim that our carbon footprints, resulting from our use of fossil fuels, are going to lead to climatic calamities. But governments are not yet listening to the citizens.
The key players are now all in place in Washington and in state governments across America to officially label carbon dioxide as a pollutant and enact laws that tax us citizens for our carbon footprints.
It's not the case that carbon dioxide drives temperatures. When you leave Ice Ages, it's the other way around: The temperatures go up first, and then carbon dioxide levels go up.
The general trend in the last 4,000 years is that carbon dioxide and temperature have been moving against each other.
