Graphite is an allotrope of carbon.
the symbol for carbon is C.
Diamond and Graphite are allotropes of Carbon [chemical symbol: C]The chemical symbol of Silicon is Si.
The chemical symbol for a pencil is typically "C" for carbon, as the core of a pencil is made of graphite, a form of carbon.
The symbol, or chemical formula, for graphite would be "C." This is because graphite is completely made of the element carbon.
The chemical symbol for lead (element) is Pb. THe formula is Pb2 Pencil lead however, is a mix of graphite and clay.
Graphite is Carbon, the chemical symbol is C. There are many forms of graphite, such as coal, and diamonds. Even the human body contains carbon. It is dug straight out of the earth just like mining coal and diamonds.
Graphite is just an allotrope of the element carbon, in that it is carbon in a different form. Graphite exists in a hexagonal planar structure which allows sheets of graphite to slide over each other easily which is what you see when you write; it is also used as a lubricant (though not in a vacuum) The allotropes of Carbon include diamond, graphite and fullerenes.
C, for carbon
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.
Since graphite is basically Carbon C + O2 --> CO2
No. It is a physical change, because the graphite is still graphite.
Graphite and Diamonds are both allotropes of Carbon.
NO! Lead is a chemical element itself, with no particular relation to carbon, which is another chemical element. The common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite. -------- Lead is the common name for the substance in a 'lead' pencil which does indeed contain an allotrope of carbon known as graphite.
