What is a solid element used in diamonds and graphite?
carbon is in both diamond and graphite along with countless other things like charcoal
Is graphene going to be put on the periodic table?
Yes Graphite is a MINERAL!!!!
Found in these forms charcoal graphite diamond?
If YOU write in this area, your question goes to the "already answered" bucket- Besides its use as jewelry, Diamond is used where anything incredibly hard is needed. Diamond (dust) is used to make saw blades and drill bits that can cut through just about anything. Graphite, while also composed of carbon, has an entirely different crystal structure, and different uses. Graphite is used as an electrical contactor (a brush) in electrical motors. It makes a great dry lubricant for things like locks, and when mixed with clay, forms the "lead" for ordinary pencils.
Which of the following is used in pencils graphite or charcoal?
Graphite ya bum
Which can be used as a lubricant - graphite or diamond?
graphite
What element is used for graphite an a type of diamond?
Both are made up of pure carbon. These two are alotrophs
What is the name of a black carbon used for writing?
It is charcoal, and also possibly graphite.
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.
Can electricity pass through carbon?
It depends on the form of the carbon, if it is charcoal or diamond (yes diamond) then no. But if it is graphite then yes. The reason why it can pass through graphite has to do with the bonding and the molecular structure of graphite which involves delocalised electrons not associated with any particular carbon atom, thereby providing a means by which to transfer charge.
What is the graphite?
a form of the element carbon (just like diamond is pure carbon). Graphite is used (with clays) in the lead of pencils, as a lubricant, for crucibles (vessels to hold high temperature molten metals), and a host of other things..
What element is a black solid that can be used in a grill?
CarbonCarbon is used in Charcoal
What are the characteristics of carbon?
Carbon is the element with atomic number 6. The specific characteristics depend on which allotrope we are considering as carbon as an element exists in different forms, such as diamond and graphite. Diamond is very hard while graphite is slippery. These are due to their different structures which give them unique properties than can be applied in practice and industry. For instance, diamond can be used in the tip of cutting machines due to its hardness and graphite can be made its lubricant due to how its layers of carbon atoms can slide over each other.
