A carbon nanotube is a thin cylinder of carbon atoms that, pound by pound, is stronger than steel and may one day be used in clothing. With a diameter of 4.0×10^-10 in., a fiber can be made 300yd long. Find the volume of such a fiber.
Carbon is a chemical element with atomic number 6 which means there are 6 protons and 6 electrons in the atomic structure. The chemical symbol for Carbon is C. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.
