What element forms both graphite and diamond?
The element is carbon, and the difference between these two allotropes is the crystal lattice formation that develops in each, based on where each is formed.
Does graphite make diamonds?
No. Graphite and diamond are both allotropes of carbon, each with a different and distinct molecular structure.
What is having the same chemical formula called?
Not quite sure what you mean. You could mean isomerism, which is changing the structure of molecules (usually hydrocarbons). You could also be referring to allotropes, which are different forms of the same element. For example, diamond and buckminsterfullerene are both allotropes of carbon. Two different molecules with the same formula are known as isomers of each other.
In what ways do testosterone and estradiol molecules differ from each other?
testosterone and estradiol have different functional groups attached to the same carbon skeleton .. hope this helps!
By how many carbon atoms does each member of a homologous series differ from the previous member?
Each member differs by CH2 so the difference in carbon atoms is simply 1.
Are carbon and graphite same material?
Yes. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are composed of the same element but the arrangement differs. Diamond and fullerenes are also allotropes of carbon. Allotropes of carbon differ in the arrangement of the carbon atoms. The structure of graphite enables it to be used in pencils (the "lead") and as a lubricant, but the arrangement of carbon in diamond makes it the hardest substance known on the earth.

Which of the following is an example of a carbon allotrope?
There are many allotropes of carbon, some are:Amorphous Carbon (No real structure to speak of)Diamond (Tetrahedral Crystalline Structure)Graphite (Hexagonal 'Graphene' Sheets)C-nanotubes (Cylindrical Graphene)Buckyballs (Spherical Graphene)Note that buckyballs and carbon nanotubes are templates of the 'fullerene family' of carbon allotropes, of which there are many.Another note: Soot is not an allotrope of carbon, it is a collection of particles left from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not an allotrope since it contains oxygen.
How is it possible to have three or more minerals of the same chemical formula but which are completely different in their physical characteristics?
Because the 3 dimensional arrangement of the atoms differ in each form, which will cause the substance to have different physical characteristics. These are called allotropes. Probably the most widely known allotropes are those of carbon. Diamond, graphite, and coal are all carbon, but the 3 dimensional arrangement of the atoms in each give each form a unique set of physical characteristics.
Are diamonds found in coal?
No. Both coal and diamond are allotropes of carbon, each with a different matrix structure.
Does graphite make diamonds?
No. Graphite and diamond are both allotropes of carbon, each with a different and distinct molecular structure.
How is diamond made out of coal?
Diamonds are not made from coal: both are allotropes of carbon and each possess a different molecular structure.
Why coal and diamond are completely different when both of them are made up of carbon atoms?
The carbon atoms that make up each are arranged in different patterns for all the allotropes of carbon, including coal and diamond.
What are epimers?
Epimers are refer to one of two optical isomers that differ from each other only in the configuration about one asymmetric carbon atom (that is, the epimeric carbon).
How does Thai musical ensemble differ from each other?
how does the thai musical essemble differ from each other
What experiment would show that both diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon?
the diamond (the hardest mineral known to man) is made up of a tetrohydral shaped atom structure which is formed into a complex lattice arrangement in the element. Graphite by contrast is one of the weakest minerals known to man, because its atoms are bonded by very weak bonds in fragile layers/sheets above and below one another, but each layer is not bonded to the rest.The carbon-carbon bonds in both minerals are actually quite strong, but it is the application of those bonds that make the difference.The carbon atoms are arranged differently in diamonds and graphite. They are both carbon, but their internal structure is different. They are allotropes of carbon.
