In what forms is graphite found?
Graphite appears naturally in three forms: amorphous, which is the last stage of the coalification process; crystalline flake, which is used in brake linings and pencils; and lump, used mostly in batteries
What is the cleavage of graphite?
graphite breaks by cleavage because the bonds between its atoms are less strong in directions
Diamond and graphite are both forms of carbon.Diamond is hard Graphite is soft and flaky How could these different properties be explained?
Diamond and graphite have different structures which account for their different properties. Graphite is arranged into sheets which are easily removed. Diamond, on the other hand, is a network solid that has very strong bonds and intermolecular forces holding it together.
Lead of a pencil made up of what?
Generally it's made of graphite. Graphite is a substance made of carbon. The carbon atoms are bonded together in a particular way that allows "sheets" of graphite to break off easily. When you write something, some of these sheets break off and end up on your paper.
How does the structure of graphite account for the design of graphite electrodes?
The structure of graphite accounts for the design of graphite electrodes in the sense that the tight structural composition of graphite makes it easy for them to be arranged in electrodes.
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.
How do you machine graphite?
Graphite is a very soft material, and is non-toxic. It is easily machined.
What is found in graphite?
Graphite appears naturally in three forms: amorphous, which is the last stage of the coalification process; crystalline flake, which is used in brake linings and pencils; and lump, used mostly in batteries
What Chemical change is mixing flake graphite with oil?
your mixing two chemicals together so of course its a chemical change
What solvent will dissolve graphite?
Graphite is not easily dissolved. Here is an article describing on process in the related link.
In what forms is graphite found?

Use a sentence with the word flake?
I can give you several sentences.The snow flake melted instantly.I found a flake of obsidian on the ground.That rock will flake easily when struck.You could also use the slang meaning of someone who is eccentric or odd. "That fellow is a real flake!"
What are differences between charcoal pencil and graphite pencil?
Graphite is denser than charcoal, and not as easily smudged.
What is the composition of back filling compound for chemical earthing?
is mixed with Ca-Bentonite, Flake Graphite Powder, Sodium Carbonate, Coal Powder & Carbon Powder
How does the bonding of Graphite explain Graphite's lubricanting properties?
Graphite only forms 3 covalent bonds and is arranged in layers so the layers can slide over each other easily.
Why graphite is a good lubricant and diamond is an excellent abrasive?
The crystalline structure of graphite and diamond are the cause of these properties.
Is graphite malleable?
Yes. The weak attractions between the layers of atoms in graphite are easily broken. Therefore, graphite is soft and the layers can slide over each other.
