The carbon

                                                       The carbon        

Carbon is having both good as well as bad qualities. Carbon is having purifying and cleaning qualities. When we burn something, it will finally reduce into ash. This means each and every substance is made of carbon. We get ash easily by burning fossil fuels. My grandma was using this ash to wash the utensils. She said by this, they will be clean. People who cant afford to buy dish washing powder, still use this method.
Carbon also has purifying property. We have water purifier in the house. In that machine, to purify the water , water is first passed through blocks containing carbon. With this, the visible impurities will surely vanish thus we get pure water.

Carbon di oxide (CO2) is the gas which is now in news. Even it has both good and bad qualities.  I*n the films, we see actor and actresses  dancing amidst the white fog. Now how this fog comes? It is not the natural one. This is happened because of dry ice which is crystallised CO2.

When this CO2 is passed through water, we get soda which quenches our thirst during summer. Most of the soft drinks have adopted this technique.
