What mineral is found in coal graphite and diamonds?
Carbon is the mineral found in coal, graphite, and diamonds. The different arrangements of carbon atoms lead to the diverse properties of these materials.
Is graphite mechanical or chemical?
Chemical. It is a mineral and an allotrope (form) of carbon (like diamonds).
Why does graphite and diamonds have properties?
Everything has 'properties' used to identify the object/ item/ mineral/ material.
Are coal salt diamonds and graphite minerals?
yes all of them are minerals.Another AnswerNone of them are minerals: coal, diamonds and graphite are formed from the mineral carbon. There is a class of minerals, according to Wikipedia: "The halide minerals are the group of minerals forming the natural salts."
Why are diamonds made from graphite not a mineral?
By definition, a mineral must form by natural processes. So anything man-made, even if it is chemically an structurally identical to a mineral, is not a mineral. However, natural diamond is formed from graphite as well.
Is graphite mineral?
Yes Graphite is a MINERAL!!!!
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.
Is lead from our pencils diamonds?
No. They are actually a type of graphite. Diamonds are made of carbon.
Why are diamonds not considered minerals?
Diamond fits the definition of a mineral in that it is naturally occurring, a solid, composed of an element or combination of elements, and has a crystalline structure. Many minerals contain carbon. Graphite, the mineral, is also pure carbon but with a different crystalline structure.
Do Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical compositions and different crystalline structures?
Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical composition, which is pure carbon, but their crystalline structures are different. Graphite has a layered structure, while diamonds have a tightly packed, three-dimensional crystal lattice structure. This difference in structure gives them their unique physical properties.
Diamonds and graphite are examples of what solid?
Diamonds and graphite are both allotropes of carbon.
What rock is graphite?
Yes. Graphite is a mineral with a crystalline structure.
