What object is made of one element?
Graphite, diamond
What is the name for bits of unburnt carbon?
charcoal graphite diamond
What year was carbon discovered?
Carbon was known from prehistoric times as graphite, coal, diamond.
What is the chemical composition of fats?
Fatty acids and glycerol
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.
Which mineral is a cousin to a diamond of chemical composition?
The mineral is carbon: allotropes include diamond, graphite and coal.
What does a diamond and lead have in common?
If you are referrring to lead as the thing that is found in pencils, then the lead is actually graphite, and graphite and Diamond are both pure carbon, just arranged differently chemical composition.
WhaT of these is true about graphite?
Some interesting facts about graphite are that it shares the same chemical composition as a diamond, but not atomic structure. Also graphite is brittle, smudges if handled, and can be used as a conductor for electricity.
What is the symbol of diamond silicon and graphite?
Diamond and Graphite are allotropes of Carbon [chemical symbol: C]The chemical symbol of Silicon is Si.
Is there a gem or mineral that is similar to diamond and agate?
There are minerals like graphite that have the same chemical composition as diamond, and there are many gems that are simply quartz, like agate, but there are probably none that are similar to both diamond and agate.
Which mineral is used as a lubricant for locks and in pencils?
Graphite Chemical Composition: C
Chemical composition of diamond?
Pure CARBON
What is an example of Polymorphism?
A polymorph is defined as same composition, different chemical structures. Quartz, cristobalite, and tridymite are examples of polymorph because they are three different minerals with the same chemical composition. Graphite and diamond are also good examples of polymorphism. They both contain carbon atoms, but they have extremely different properties because of the condition in which they formed. Diamond forms where extreme pressures and temperatures produce its compact structure. On the other hand, graphite forms under comparatively low pressures and it has weekly bonded carbon sheets that create its greasy feel. The difference in conditions makes diamond much harder than graphite and graphite much more useful as a lubricant.

Do graphite and diamond have the same chemical compositions and different crystaline structures?
Yes, it is correct.
What is the chemical name of diamond?
Carbon. Diamond is one of the forms of elemental carbon, these are called allotropes, the most common allotrope is graphite.
Do Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical compositions and different crystalline structures?
Both graphite and diamond are composed of the element carbon, but have different crystalline structures.
