Graphite is a form of carbon (C12) in which the atoms are generally arranged in flat layers of hexagonal formation, thus giving it its softness. Diamond is another form of carbon, this time with the atoms linked in a rigid, tetrahedral arrangement which affords the crystal its great strength.

Does graphite contain silica?
No. A silicate is a compound containing silicon, oxygen and something else.Graphite is pure carbon. Black and slippery, it is one of the allotropes of carbon, along with amorphous carbon and diamond.
WhaT of these is true about graphite?
Some interesting facts about graphite are that it shares the same chemical composition as a diamond, but not atomic structure. Also graphite is brittle, smudges if handled, and can be used as a conductor for electricity.
What chemical formula H20?
H2O is 2 hydrogens plus 1 oxygen and that makes the chemical formula for water.
What is the chemical formula for oxides?
The chemical formula for oxide is O2−
What is the chemical formula for beans?
Any chemical formula; beans are not chemical compounds.
The type of atom in graphite?
The symbol, or chemical formula, for graphite would be "C." This is because graphite is completely made of the element carbon.
What is the chemical element of lead?
The chemical symbol for lead (element) is Pb. THe formula is Pb2 Pencil lead however, is a mix of graphite and clay.
What is the chemical reactivity of graphite?
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.
What is the chemical symbol for graphite?
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. the symbol for carbon is C.
Is transferring graphite from a pencil to paper when writing a chemical change?
No. It is a physical change, because the graphite is still graphite.
The chemical composition of graphite and diamond is?
Graphite and Diamonds are both allotropes of Carbon.
Is graphite lubricant a chemical or physical property?
The lubricating property of graphite is a physical property. The graphite does not undergo a chemical change when used as a lubricant.
What is the formula for graphite?
umm the formula for graphite is just good ol carbon. it is just a form of it so it would be C(s)
What is formula for graphite?
umm the formula for graphite is just good ol carbon. it is just a form of it so it would be C(s)
What is the symbol of diamond silicon and graphite?
Diamond and Graphite are allotropes of Carbon [chemical symbol: C]The chemical symbol of Silicon is Si.
Does graphite contain silica?
No. A silicate is a compound containing silicon, oxygen and something else.Graphite is pure carbon. Black and slippery, it is one of the allotropes of carbon, along with amorphous carbon and diamond.
What is graphite' s chemical formula?
Graphite is just an allotrope of the element carbon, in that it is carbon in a different form. Graphite exists in a hexagonal planar structure which allows sheets of graphite to slide over each other easily which is what you see when you write; it is also used as a lubricant (though not in a vacuum) The allotropes of Carbon include diamond, graphite and fullerenes.
