Sonic Scholar - Carbon Bonds Lyrics

Carbon's number six symbol is a "C"
Atomic mass around twelve that's the key!
Found in the stars in life and the air
From diamonds to graphite it's everywhere!
Carbon carbon you're the base of life
In every plant and animal you thrive!
Four valence electrons ready to bond
Building up the world that we live on!
Forms diamonds so tough and graphite's sleek
In every cell you're the strength we seek.
You bond with others up to four at a time
Creating life's structures oh so fine!
Carbon carbon you're the base of life
In every plant and animal you thrive!
Four valence electrons ready to bond
Building up the world that we live on!
In carbon chains and rings life comes alive
Organic chemistry helps us to survive.
Fueling our cars with coal gas and oil
Carbon's power makes the engines boil!
In CO₂ you ride the breeze
Through oceans plants and forest trees.
Carbon-14 helps us see the past
And in steel you're strong built to last!
Carbon carbon you're the base of life
In every plant and animal you thrive!
Four valence electrons ready to bond
Building up the world that we live on!
You're in sugar proteins DNA too
Making life possible that's what you do.
With hydrogen oxygen nitrogen and more
You form the molecules that life explores!
From the core of the Earth to the sky above
Carbon's in everything we know and love!
In the soil the sea the air we breathe
Carbon's forever and it never leaves!
