What is the structural difference between a diamond and graphite?
graphite has hexagonal crystals and diamond tetrahedron
What is a form of carbon that has plate like crystals?
Graphite is in sheets... And is quite slippery.
Does pencil lead contain crystals?
Pencil 'lead' does not contain crystals. It is a mixture of the element carbon (in the form of graphite) and clay.
What shape are borax crystals?
Borax forms crystals with a Monoclinic Prismatic structure.
Is the crystals in each mineral are the same shape true or false?
Most minerals have one crystal shape each, but that shape may be different for a different mineral. However there are a few substances which form different shapes of crystal under different conditions. This is called polymorphism, or allotropy if the substance is an element. For instance carbon can form graphite or diamond.
What is the texture of Graphite rock?
It is smooth. Graphite is made up of crystals. It will have angles.

Why graphite is less denser than diamond?
larger crystals

What are crystals once they have had a chance to grow and take shape?
crystals are blank that have had a chance to grow and take shape.
What shape do crystals have to take to give energy?
Crystals do not give energy!

What texture is igneous?
igneous is the texture of igneous rocks. The texture of igneous rocks is defined by 3 ways: a) Crystallinity- it expresses the degree of formation of crystals in an igneous rock. the texture of an igneous rock may be Holocyrstalline (Completely characterised by crystals, Hemicrystalline (partially having crystals) and holocrystalline (no crystals). b) Granularity- it is the size of the grains. it may be equigranular (when mineral grains are equal in size) or inequigranular (when mineral grains are not equal in size). c) shape of crystals- The shape of crystals may be Euhedral (When all crystals are of same shape), Subhedral (when they are partially similar in shape), Anhedral (when they are completely different in shape).
What is the shape of minerals?
the way its crystals are formed
Do crystals change shape?
Yes, they can "grow".
