How does the structure of graphite account for the design of graphite electrodes?
The structure of graphite accounts for the design of graphite electrodes in the sense that the tight structural composition of graphite makes it easy for them to be arranged in electrodes.
What is the chemical reactivity of graphite?
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.
What can be made of graphite?
Graphite is pure carbon. A diamond is also pure carbon in a very specific crystal. Yet diamonds do not conduct electricity and graphite does. Graphite can form in plate like arrays of hexagonal crystals and in an amorphous, powdery form.
Is graphite magnetic?
Graphite is not magnetic as it is made out of carbon. E.g; Pencil lead is mostly made out of graphite, it is NOT magnetic.
Is graphite an element or compound or mixture?
Graphite is an element. It is a form of carbon.
What is a form of carbon that makes a good lubricant?
Graphite (I think)
What is the difference between carbon graphite and graphite?
because carbon graphite had carbon but graphite does not have carbon
Why is graphite used in nuclear reactors?
Graphite can be used as a moderator, that is to slow down the fast neutrons produced in fission. Early reactors including Hanford and Windscale used graphite, and in the UK this type of reactor was built extensively for power production. However water reactors such as PWR and BWR have proved cheaper to build and have a longer life, so graphite is now little used, there are a few still running but none being planned or built as far as I know.
What is the correct label for pencil lead?
You think probable to graphite.
Is graphite a resource?
No, graphite is not renewable.
What is graphite's transparency?
Graphite does not have a transparency.
Where does graphite come from?
Graphite mines
What is the luster of a graphite?
Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
How does the structure of graphite account for the design of graphite electrodes?
The structure of graphite accounts for the design of graphite electrodes in the sense that the tight structural composition of graphite makes it easy for them to be arranged in electrodes.
Is a non metallic conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
What are some of uses of graphite?
carbon and graphite are one in the same, graphite is a form of carbon a use for graphite is the lead in your pencil (it's not actually lead, it's graphite) and it is also a good lubricant ;)
What is the graphite solvent?
Graphite is practically insoluble.
