What soft mineral is a polymorph of diamond?
The mineral is graphite.
Are diamonds and graphite both polymorphs of pure silicon?
No, diamonds and graphite are not polymorphs of silicon. Diamonds are a polymorph of carbon, while graphite is also a polymorph of carbon. Silicon does not form diamonds or graphite as polymorphs.
Where is grapite found?
In nature, graphite is found as flake, vein, or amorphous form. Graphite is polymorph of carbon. Graphite is a non-metal that is a conductor of electricity.
Is graphite mineral?
Yes Graphite is a MINERAL!!!!
What type of mineral is aragonite?
Aragonite is a carbonate mineral it is a polymorph of the more common mineral calcite, it is mainly found in animal's shells.
What is in the mineral graphite?
Graphite is a form of carbon, an allotrope.
What mineral is used in pencils?
Graphite is the mineral used in pencils. It is a form of carbon that allows for smooth writing and drawing.
What is an example of a polymorph?
A polymorph is defined as same composition, different chemical structures. Quartz, cristobalite, and tridymite are examples of polymorph because they are three different minerals with the same chemical composition. Graphite and diamond are also good examples of polymorphism. They both contain carbon atoms, but they have extremely different properties because of the condition in which they formed. Diamond forms where extreme pressures and temperatures produce its compact structure. On the other hand, graphite forms under comparatively low pressures and it has weekly bonded carbon sheets that create its greasy feel. The difference in conditions makes diamond much harder than graphite and graphite much more useful as a lubricant.
Where can you get graphite?
You can obtain graphite from an ordinary pencil lead, is made from graphite (not lead).Graphite is a natural occurring mineral and it is mined just like any other industrial mineral.
What is in graphite?
Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral allotrope of the element carbon.
What kind of mineral can you find at the end of the pencil?
The mineral commonly found in pencils is graphite. Graphite is a form of carbon and is a soft, black, and shiny mineral that leaves marks on paper when used in writing or drawing.
Weight of a mineral called graphite?
That depends on how much mineral you have.
