How is a graphite different from other allotropes of carbon?

Diamonds, coke, coal, graphite, fullerenes


What do diamonds. Graphite and fullerenes have in common?

All forms of carbon.


What are the appearance of carbon?

Carbon has many forms. Soot, graphite, fullerenes, Buckeyballs, nanotubes, for some examples.


What does the atomic structure of carbon form?

Carbon can form diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, nanotubes, fullerenes, etc.


What do diamond's Graphite Fullerenes and nanotubes have in common?

All forms of carbon.


What does fullerencemean?

I'm assuming you are referring fullerenes. They are structures used for applications such as catalytic methane activation to higher hydrocarbons. They are a form of carbon molecule that is neither graphite nor diamond. Fullerenes were named after an architect Richard Buckminster Fuller.


How are fullerenes prepared?

Fullerenes are prepared by vaporizing graphite rod in helium atmosphere. A mixture of fullerenes like C60, C70 etc are formed which are separated by solvent extraction method.C60 is obtained by column chromatography using alumina as the adsorbent and hexane as the solvent.


What is the heaviest allotrope of carbon?

Some allotropes of carbon are diamonds, amorphous carbon, and graphite. While the density of diamonds ranges between 3.15 and 3.53 grams per cubic centimeter, graphite has a density that is between 2.09 and 2.23 grams per cubic centimeter. The density of carbon is 2.267 grams per cubic centimeter.


What are the similarities and differences between diamond and graphite and Buckminsterfullerene?

similarities -- all are forms of carbon differences -- because of the structures of the bonds of the carbon atoms, they have different properties


List in a table the similarities and differences between diamond and graphite including their uses?

Diamond and graphite are allot-ropes of each other. Diamond has a tetrahedral structure where as graphite has an hexagonal arrangement. Both are made of carbon atoms entirely. Diamond is used in jewelry etc. where as graphite is used as in batteries , lubricants etc.


How can a fullerene be made into a nanotube?

Fullerenes are a form of carbon molecule that is neither graphite nor diamond. They consist of a spherical, ellipsoid, or cylindrical arrangement of dozens of carbon atoms.


Does carbon have a certain color?

Pure carbon comes in three main forms: graphite (which is dark grey), diamond (which is clear and nearly colorless), and fullerenes (black, like soot).
