Are nanotubes more similar to diamonds or graphite?

According to Wikipedia: "The bulk modulus of superhard phase nanotubes is 462 to 546 GPa, even higher than that of diamond (420 GPa for single diamond crystal)." Note that diamonds are natural minerals; nanotubes are fabricated, making diamond the hardest known natural substance. You can read more about nanotubes, below.


What is the structural difference between a diamond and graphite?

The structural difference between diamond and graphite is in their arrangement of carbon atoms. Diamond has a three-dimensional network structure where each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. In contrast, graphite consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings with each carbon atom bonded to three others in the same plane, allowing for easy slippage between the layers.


What substances make up graphite?

Carbon. It also makes coal and diamonds. Answer: The difference in these various forms of carbon is the orientation of the carbon atoms into crystal latices. There are several allotropes of carbon: * Diamond: Trapezoidal crystals* Lonsddaleite: Diamnd with hexagonal crystals* Graphitec Flat sheets of atoms* Buckminsterfullerenes:* Carbon nanotubes* Amorphous Carbon: No crystals.


What are the 4 types of pure carbon?

They are:DiamondGraphiteAmorphous carbonNanocarbons (buckminsterfullerenes, carbon nanotubes and nanobuds)Vitreous carbonCarbon nanofoamPick whichever 4 you want.


What is the difference between wood blades and graphite?

A wood hockey stick has less whip effect than a graphite stick and will break easier at the heel. A choice between the two is made based on a personal like or dislike by a player. Of course the price may also ome into the choice , as a graphite stick will cost as much as 4 times that of a wood stick.

What is the difference between regular flex and soft flex graphite irons?

The difference between regular flex and soft flex graphite irons are the suitability to the needs of the golfer. Stronger golfers swing faster thus needing the regular flex. Ladies and seniors, on the other hand, need soft flex graphite irons.


What is distance difference between a graphite 7 iron and a steel shaft 7 iron?

I graphite shaft compared to a steel shaft on any club will give you more distance. For every club there will be roughly a five yard distance difference. You will hit the graphite further.
