How do we know graphite is a metal?
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
Number of adjacent carbon atom in graphite?
In a graphite structure, three adjacent carbon atoms are bonded to every carbon atom.
Is lead from our pencils diamonds?
No. They are actually a type of graphite. Diamonds are made of carbon.
How many carbon atoms are in the graphite unit cell?
there are many different atoms some are called sex cells bloood cells white blood cells and many more cells...yeah this is a cell's answer not an atom answer muhahahahahha biach you got wasted!
What is lead in pencil?
Graphite is present in pencil leads. it is composed of carbon atoms covalently bonded with each other, and 1 free valence electron in each atom (which explains why graphite/pencil-lead conducts electricity)
Only made of one type of atom?
An element is only made of one type of atom; eg. O2 (oxygen), O3 (ozone), C4 (diamond), C6 (graphite), P4 , S8 etc. are all elements.
What type of atom is lead made of?
If you're referring to the lead in pencils, it's graphite, which is made of Carbon (C). If you're referring to actual lead, lead itself is an atom (Pb).
How do we know graphite is a metal?
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
What is slippery carbon?
Graphite Powder or graphite is the slippery type of Carbon! :) hope I helped! :P
How much does graphite cost?
This depends very much on the type of graphite.
Number of adjacent carbon atom in graphite?
In a graphite structure, three adjacent carbon atoms are bonded to every carbon atom.
Why does the electrical conductivity of diamond and graphite differ widely?
graphite conducts electricity becuase its electrons are not bound to the atom but they are moving freely. so the electrons will move upon recieving electric push. diamonds electrons are bound to the atom.
What does graphite turn into?
graphite with the right amount of pressure turns into a type of pearl or a diamond.
What type of jewel can cut graphite?
Most anything can 'cut graphite' including your fingernail.
What type of bonding in graphite?
covalent
What type of bond is in graphite?
covalent
Which form of Carbon is a good conductor of electricity and heat?
Graphite is the type of carbon that conducts electricity but poorly than metal
