A form of the element carbon in which the atoms are arranged in a crystal structure?
Diamond
How are diamonds and graphites different and the same?
Different is only the arrangement of atoms in diamond or graphite. Diamond and graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
What are solids with orderly arranged atoms in repeating patterns?
Crystalline Solids.Solids can be crystalline or amorphous.* Crystalline solid is a solid with a regular arrangement of its components.Some examples are diamond, silica, and graphite. * Amorphous solid is a solid with considerable disorder in its structure, as in common glass or rubber.
What is a solid material with atoms arranged in a repeating pattern?
A crystal is a solid. But it is a solid with a natural geometrically regular form that has plane faces that are arranged symmetrically.
Do blue diamonds occur naturally?
Yes, and the natural occurrence of this colour is attributable to the inclusion of boron within the crystal structure of the diamond.
What are the geometric characteristics of diamonds?
A raw diamond has these geometric characteristics: its crystal habit is octahedral, and its crystal system is isometric-hexoctahedral (cubic).
What is solid material that has an orderly repeating patterns of atoms?
A crystal structure, or lattice maybe? Like diamond? or maybe an ionic crystaline structure as in Sodium Chloride...
Does a diamond have a crystal structure?
yes.
On the molecular structure of a diamond the term crystal refers to?
What is the molecular structure of diamonds?
Are minerals that have particles arranged in a diamond or crystal pattern?
Atoms within a mineral are arranged into an orderly geometric spatial arrangement known as crystal structure. There are 14 basic crystal lattices (refered to as the Bravais lattices) which fit into one of 7 crystal system (triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, hexagonal and cubic) and all observed minerals fit into one crystal lattice and one crystal system. Diamond on the other hand is an allotrope of carbon arranged into an isometric hexoctahedral (Cubic-type) crystal system.
Do both diamond and graphite have a crystal structure?
Yes. Diamond is isometric, graphite is hexagonal.
What particles arrange in a repeating pattern?
34t
A form of the element carbon in which the atoms are arranged in a crystal structure?
Diamond
Bravais lattice structure of diamond and zinc blend?
According to Wikipedia: The mineral sphalerite... "crystallizes in the cubic crystal system. In the crystal structure, zinc and sulfur atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated. The structure is closely related to the structure of diamond." You can read more about Bravais lattaice by following the link, below.
What makes diamond most suitable for cutting hard material while graphite best for making pencils?
Both diamond and graphite are alltropes of carbon. But the crystal structure of diamond makes it the hardest natural mineral, while the crystal structure of graphite makes it a natural for pencils.
What is difference between FCC and diamond?
One is a federal commission and the other is a diamond. Unless you're referring to crystal structure: "FCC" is the abbreviation for face-centered-cubic, "BCC" is body-centered-cubic. Diamond is just cubic, which may seem bad, but this crystal structure is nearly indestructible.
Is diamond a crystal?
A mineral crystal is not necessarily a diamond, but a diamond is a mineral crystal. All minerals, such as diamond, have crystalline structures.
