Graphite is not metallic it just "shines" when the light shines on it
Two examples are quartz and mica. Minerals are also classified as metallic or non-metallic.
they can both last a long time if they are cared for properly, but non-metalic paint lasts slightly longer, because it cant rust out.
a compound contain metallic and non metallic elements. typical nonmetallic elements are oxygen nitrogen and carbon.
Well that would be CARBON :]
Yes, there are some very large reserves of graphite in the US. However, graphite is no longer mined in the US because graphite can be synthetically produced using petroleum coke. Petroleum coke is much more pure and economic form of graphite.
Graphite
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
A sharpened pencil lead is non-metallic. It is typically made of graphite, which is a non-metallic element.

No, carbon is not a metal. It is a non-metallic element that can exist as a solid (such as graphite or diamond), liquid (such as in molten form), or a gas (such as in carbon dioxide).
An example of a non-metal that exhibits metallic luster rarely is graphite. Graphite is a form of carbon that can have a shiny, metallic appearance under certain conditions, such as when it is highly polished or in certain crystal structures.
Carbon - non metallic solid in the form of graphite and diamond
Graphite is a non-metallic element that can conduct electricity. It has a unique structure that allows electrons to move freely within its layers, making it a good conductor of electricity.
Graphite is composed of pure carbon, a non-metallic element. So there are no metals in graphite
the most common item is a pencil, the "lead" is made of graphite
Carbon can exhibit both metallic and non-metallic luster depending on its allotrope. In its graphite form, carbon has a metallic luster, appearing shiny and reflective. In contrast, in its diamond form, carbon has a brilliant, non-metallic luster, characterized by its clarity and sparkle. Thus, carbon's luster varies with its structural form.
Graphite is a form of carbon and is considered a non-metallic mineral due to its applications and properties, despite having metallic luster. Galena, on the other hand, is a lead sulfide and is classified as a metallic mineral because it contains a metal (lead) and exhibits metallic characteristics. Pyrite, often referred to as "fool's gold," is also a metallic mineral, primarily composed of iron and sulfur. Thus, while galena and pyrite are metallic minerals, graphite is not.
