Carbon atoms are defined as those atoms which have 6 protons in their nucleus. Aside from that I will note that carbon is a very important element. All forms of life that we know of, including ourselves, could not exist without carbon atoms.

∙ 10y agoCarbon is an element. Elements are made of atoms.
So, carbon is made of atoms.
Usually the atoms are joined together by chemical bonds.
Carbon can take several different forms (allotropes).
For example, graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. They differ in the way the bonding between the carbon atoms occurs.

Is carbon made up of 1 atom?
Your question is not clear. Atom is the smallest entity.
Is carbon dioxide a particle?
A carbon atom is made up of six neutrons and six electrons.
Substance from which everything is made?
basically there is no common substance from which everything is made.. if ur question is changed to " what are most of the things made of.." then its carbon.
What is the formula of carbon tetraiodide?
It is a compound formed from one carbon atom bonded to four iodine atoms.Carbon tetra iodide is a compound. It has 1 carbon atoms and 4 iodine atoms. The 4 iodine atoms are bond to the carbon atom.Carbon tetraiodide is made of one carbon atom and four iodine atoms. Carbon shares its outermost four electrons with four iodine atoms to build a molecule. The molecule is tetrahedral and insoluble in water.
The mass of an atom compared to the mass of a carbon-12 atom is called the?
Isotope.
Is carbon dioxide made of carbon an oxygen?
Correct. Carbon Dioxide is made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atom (CO2).
Is carbon dioxide molecule made of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom?
No. One carbon dioxide molecule is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Is carbon dioxide made of one atom of carbon dioxide and two atoms of dioxide?
No. These is no such element as "dioxide." Carbon dioxide is made of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.

What elements make up carbon monoxide?
Carbon and oxygen : CO. Carbon monoxide is made of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. Highly reactive within the human bloodstream.
Is carbon monoxide an atom or molecule?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a molecule. It is made up of carbon and oxygen atoms.
What is differencebetween atom and molecule?
Atoms are single elements, such as carbon, C. Molecules are made from atoms. Such as carbon dioxide, CO2. Two atoms of oxygen bonded with an atom of carbon.
What elements of the periodic table is carbon dioxide made of?
