∙ 8y agoBoth graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. Their molecules are structured differently.
Diamond molecules have a crystal habit that is octahedral and a crystal system that is Isometric-hexoctahedral (Cubic).
Graphite molecules have a crystal system which is tabular, six-sided foliated masses, granular to compacted masses, and a crystal system which is hexagonal.

Will graphite rust?
No. Graphite is not a metal, it's made of Carbon.
How do we know graphite is a metal?
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
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 the electrode the metal or graphite rod in an electric cell?
Tt depends on the metal which is the cathode and which is the anode. However, in most cases, graphite is the cathode and the metal is the anode. the strictly correct answer is that BOTH the metal and the graphite rod are electrodes. You must have two electrodes minimum to create a cell.
What is the molecular structure of a pencil?
Wood, graphite, and metal.
What special property does the non-metal graphite have?
it is lustrous and a good conductor of heat and electricity, as most other non-metals are not. ---------- Some properties of graphite: - anisotropy - hexagonal rhombohedral crystalline structure (for the non-amorphous graphite) - low hardness (1 to 2, Mohs scale) - black color - density: 2-2,25 g/cm3 - practically insoluble - has lubricating property - graphite has many forms, natural or artificial
Is conductive graphite a metal?
Graphite is not a metal.
What are the names of the sonorous metals?
a sonorous metal is a metal than makes a sound when hit example iron
Is the rod in an electric cell metal or graphite?
Graphite
Why is graphite usually non-metal?
Graphite is a form of carbon.
Will graphite rust?
No. Graphite is not a metal, it's made of Carbon.
How do we know graphite is a metal?
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
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.
Give one property of metal foil which makes it a good material to use as a switch?
give me one property of metal that makes it a good material to connect the cell and bulb
Why graphite is used in battery?
Graphite is the only non-metal exception that can conduct electricity. Hence, even though graphite is a non-metal, it is used in batteries.
What the meaning of sonority in property of compound of metal?
the property of metals which makes a sound is known as sonority.
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.
