Hiiltä
Hiiltä is the Finnish term for the chemical element carbon. Carbon has the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is a nonmetal central to organic chemistry and life, capable of forming diverse structures by bonding with itself and with many other elements. Carbon occurs in several allotropes, most notably diamond (a hard, three-dimensionally bonded lattice) and graphite (soft, layered and electrically conductive along the planes). Other forms include graphene, fullerenes, and various amorphous carbons such as charcoal and coal.
Natural occurrence and cycles: carbon is abundant in Earth's crust, mainly in carbonate minerals and in organic
Uses and applications: carbon is essential in steelmaking as coke; it is used in batteries and electrochemistry
Environmental aspects: combustion of carbon-rich fuels releases CO2, a greenhouse gas that influences climate. Carbon monoxide
History and terminology: the element was identified and described in the 18th century. In Finnish, hiili refers
