1. Cite two importance/uses of carbon compounds.
a.) Amorphous carbon is used to make inks and paints.
b.) It is also used in batteries.
c.) Graphite is used as the lead in your pencils.
2. Cite two harmful effects of overusing carbon compounds.
a.) When we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, we emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This then traps heat in the atmosphere and leads to a changing climate.
b.) When we burn coal in power plants, dangerous mercury emissions are generated. Coal burning also emits soot and sulfur dioxide.
