It is a difference in the crystalline structure.
Because the atoms are carbon are arranged differently.
Hard matrix is supposed to be used for digging hard rocks and soft matrix for soft rocks. It's quite confusing to me
Diamond IS the HARDEST of naturally occurring materials because it is composed of extremely small atoms (carbon) packed extremely tightly where they share atoms in a type of bonding known as covalent bonding. Termed lattice density, diamond packs atoms more tightly than any other natural material and that combined with the covalent bonding is why it is so hard.
No, graphite is not soft. In fact, if you find a graphite rock, it is extremely hard. It is often very colorful, though.
Ash is extremely hard, this is what baseball bats are made of.
Carbon in its pure form lacks the typical hardness of a metal, so it can be scratched or dented with sufficient force or pressure. However, the hardness can vary depending on the form of carbon, such as graphite or diamond, with diamond being extremely hard and difficult to scratch or dent.
Because the atoms are carbon are arranged differently.
Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material known, ranking as a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This means it is extremely durable and resistant to scratching or abrasion.
yes you can but its very hard your best bet is soft resseting
Diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth. It is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure that gives it exceptional hardness and durability.
While carbon can be very hard, it is not necessarily brittle. The properties of carbon can vary depending on its structure and form. For example, diamond is a form of carbon that is both extremely hard and strong, while graphite is another form of carbon that is soft and brittle.
Some minerals are hard yet some are soft. Talc is the softest mineral as diamond is the hardest mineral. You can look at this on the hardness scale. It goes from one to ten, so talc is one as diamond is ten.
