What property makes graphite an unusual non metal?
Graphite is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. Graphite can withstand extremely high temperatures and is not affected by majority of reagents and acids. This property gives graphite uses which are unique and peculiar.
How does conduction take place in graphite?
Because there free electrons are present in conduction shell of graphite hence this electrons transfer charge from one place to another place in graphite crystal, & makes it conductive.Ok bhAI
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.
Which crystal system does corundum have?
Corundum is in the trigonal crystal system.
Why graphite is opaque and diamond is transperent?
Different physical structures. Both are pure (or nearly so) carbon. Graphite is a powder made of tiny flakes, while diamond is a rigid crystal.
What is the crystal form of Graphite?
Graphite is in the hexagonal crystal system. Graphite is made up of thin layers of the element carbon and is one of the only two allotropes of the element. The other is diamond.

Do both diamond and graphite have a crystal structure?
Yes. Diamond is isometric, graphite is hexagonal.
How does a foxhole radio work?
If i remember correctly it uses the graphite in a pencil as a crystal similar to that of other crystal radios.
What bond is involved in graphite's crystal structure?
seeing how it has a CRYSTAL STRUCTURE I would say ionic bond.
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 crystal has six sides?
Graphite is an example of a hexagonal crystal. Beryl also forms a six sided crystal.Magnesium exhibits close packed hexagonal crystal structure.
Is graphite rock extrusive or intrusive?
GRAPHITE is a native mineral. It is metamorphic and it is effectively the highest grade of coal.
How does conduction take place in graphite?

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.
Is graphite made of coal?
Both coal and graphite are made of carbon, but in different molecular structures. Diamond is also made of carbon but in a highly ordered crystal structure.
How can diamond and graphite both be carbon?
This is because the carbon atoms are arranged differently in diamond and graphite. In a diamond, the carbon atoms are in a three dimensional crystal lattice structure. In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in a two dimensional sheet.
