Graphite is a form of the element carbon, which is a nonmetal. While it has a metallic luster and conducts electricity, graphite is brittle. Unlike metals, which are held together by metallic bonds, graphite is a covalent network solid. Other forms of carbon behave more clearly as nonmetals.
What else can I help you with?
Is graphite nonmetallic?
Yes, graphite is carbon, a nonmetal.
Is a graphite an nonmetal?
Graphite is carbon. Carbon is ordinarily classified as a nonmetal but has some metallic properties and is occasionally classified as a metalloid.
What nonmetal is a conductor of electricity?
Graphite is one!
Is Graphite a metal non-metal or mettaloids?
nonmetal, because it is a form of carbon and carbon is a nonmetal.
Is a pencil a nonmetal?
The lead of a pencil is made mostly of the nonmetal carbon but the rest of the pencil is neither metal nor nonmetal (except for the bit of metal near the eraser) because it is not an element.
Is graphite a metalloid?
graphite is a form of carbon that forms in layers which is why it is able to be used in pencils, because the layers can slide off and get left on the page. Anyway carbon is a non-metal so graphite is a non-metal.
Which nonmetal is a good conductor of electricity?
Graphite. You might have come across experiments using a pencil to complete a simple circuit to check if a bulb glows and you might have observed that it does. The graphite in the lead of the pencil is what helps conduct electricity.
Which nonmetal is a conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
What is a nonmetal mineral?
A nonmetal mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic substance that does not possess metallic properties. These minerals lack the physical and chemical characteristics of metals, such as luster, malleability, and electrical conductivity. Examples of nonmetal minerals include quartz, sulfur, and graphite. Nonmetal minerals are essential for various industrial applications, such as construction, electronics, and agriculture.
Is nonmetal a good conductors of electricity?
Graphite. You might have come across experiments using a pencil to complete a simple circuit to check if a bulb glows and you might have observed that it does. The graphite in the lead of the pencil is what helps conduct electricity.
Which non metal forms the lead' in a pencil?
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
Is carbon a metal or nonmetal or metalloid?
Carbon is considered a nonmetal. It has an atomic symbol of C and atomic number of 6. It is a solid in its standard state.
