What things are made of carbon?
diamond and graphite are pure carbon. everything living has carbon in it. charcoal and car hoods have in it as well
What is the difference between two atoms of carbon having the same number of neutrons?
carbon rod, graphite, diamond.
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.
What does graphite turn into when put under pressure?
Diamond, which like , graphite, is an allotrope of carbon . If you heat diamond it weill turn to graphite.
Is graphene going to be put on the periodic table?
Yes Graphite is a MINERAL!!!!
What is the structural difference between a diamond and graphite?
graphite has hexagonal crystals and diamond tetrahedron
Similarities between Graphite and Fullerenes?
difference between diamond graphite and fullrene
What element is used in charcoal graphite and diamond?
Carbon
What is the name for bits of unburnt carbon?
charcoal graphite diamond
Which is more dense diamond or charcoal?
Diamond , nearly twice that of graphite. (charcoal is not a fair comparison it is a porous partially combusted wood product composed mainly of graphite but there are many impurities.)
What is the difference between diamond and grapite?
There is none, diamond has about 60 bonds of graphite inside of it.
What are 3 examples of pure carbon?
Charcoal, Diamond, Graphite, Coke
What is a solid element used in diamonds and graphite?
carbon is in both diamond and graphite along with countless other things like charcoal
Which is the best reason for the difference between the properties of diamond and graphite?
Graphite and diamonds are both network covalent carbon chains. The only difference is the structure of each. Graphite is very soft and is used as a lubricant, due to the fact that its carbon atoms are bonded together in layers which slide apart easily. Diamond, however, is very abrasive, because its carbons are all bonded to each other in a very rigid fashion.
Can carbon bond with other carbons?
Yes, it can bond with other cabons . For example, a diamond, graphite (in pencils) and charcoal.
What things are made of carbon?
diamond and graphite are pure carbon. everything living has carbon in it. charcoal and car hoods have in it as well
What do graphite and charcoal have in common?
Both graphite and diamond are forms of carbon. As such, they are said to be alotropes of carbon. Both occur naturally. Both are mined for industrial purposes, though larger diamonds are sought and used for other things. Both are produced in the earth in geothermal processes. Both can be made artificially. Both are normally solids and highly stable. And they are both difficult to burn, even in an oxygen environment.
