Want this question answered?
Neon is a noble gas because it has a complete octat and it is stable in its ground state.
Carbon: diamond, graphite, glassy graphite, graphene, fullerene etc.
=>diamond is not conducting electricity and heat. =>it is hardest natural substances known. =>it occurs naturally free state. =>graphite is soft and greasy to touch. =>it doesn't conduct heat an electricity. =>it occurred naturally and manufactured artificially. =>buckminsterfullerene is used in medicines. =>it is used in treatment of cancer.
Graphite is a solid.
name a non-metal which is in the solid state?
In its ground state it does have a stable octet.
Neither. It has a stable octet in its ground state.
Carbon.

Carbon in its most stable pure form is graphite. It is slightly slippery. Pencil leads are made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which should give you an idea of how graphite feels. Diamonds are also pure carbon, although not the most stable state.

All allotropes of carbon (graphite, diamond, buckyballs, nanotubes, ect.) are commonly solid
The standard state, or reference state, of an element is defined as its thermodynamically most stable state at 1 bar at a given temperature (typically at 298.15 K). In thermochemistry, an element is defined to have an enthalpy of formation of zero in its standard state. For example, the reference state for carbon is graphite, because it is more stable than the other allotropes.

Carbon is one of the elements which exist in meta stable state. Diamond is the meta stable state of carbon, which upon given certain activation energy, changes into graphene.
Diamond, graphite. Combined with anything else it could be any of a vast number of solids, liquids, gases.
Graphite is a solid.
