What are the similarities and differences between diamond and graphite and Buckminsterfullerene?
similarities -- all are forms of carbon differences -- because of the structures of the bonds of the carbon atoms, they have different properties
How do you cut silicon carbide?
diamond
Similarities between Graphite and Fullerenes?
difference between diamond graphite and fullrene
Which mineral is the hardest known-to-man?
Diamond is still the hardest substance known to man. Various carbides such as tungsten carbide, boron carbide, and silicon carbide are also extremely hard, but you will notice that they all contain carbon (diamond is pure carbon - the rest are carbon compounds.)
Why diamond has a higher melting point than silicon carbide?
The bond energy of Si -C is generally considered to be lower than that of the C-C, so a simple explanation is that diamond has a stronger bond. Both diamond and silicon carbide have a three dimensional network structure. Diamond consists of tetrahedral bonded carbon atoms whereas silicon carbide has many polymorphs (crystal structure which are temperature dependant). As you heat silicon carbide up the crystal structure changes. Silicon carbide does not melt "congruently" to give a liquid of the same composition, it decomposes at around 2700 0C .
What metal is used to drill through rocks?
Carbide steel or diamond tips.
What is the resemblance of structure of Silicon Carbide to diamond?
both of these are bonded to C-atom.
What are two examples of solids that have tightly packed particles?
diamond & silicon-carbide. Thank you magesh gopi.
How do you cut a hole in clay tile?
With a high-speed drill or rotary tool - carbide or diamond bit.
Melting point above 3000K?
Metals: tantalum, rhenium, wolfram, osmium Nonmetals: diamond, graphite Compounds: hafnium carbide, hafnium boride, hafnium nitride, tantalum hafnium carbide, etc.
What are the differences and similarities between diamonds and gold?
the difference is that gold is yellow and it is hard and a diamond is hard too, but it is not as hard as gold and diamond can be any color
Covalent compounds are mostly soluble in non polar solvents but diamond and silicon carbide are not why?
I suppose that the cause is that C (diamond) and SiC form huge networks with covalent bonds.
