because it is a heat conductor!
It can cause diamond the break down. Although diamond is very hard, being made of carbon it can still be destroyed by heat. When heated in the presence of oxygen diamond will burn off it form carbon dioxide. In the absence it may degrenerate into graphite or some other form of carbon.
Bronze is a metal. All metals conduct heat.
There are three forms of carbon: 1.Graphite 2.Diamond 3.Buckminster fullerine
solid becaus there are more molecules so they spread the heat energy around quicker
Both graphite and diamond are forms of carbon. As such, they are said to be alotropes of carbon. Both occur naturally. Both are mined for industrial purposes, though larger diamonds are sought and used for other things. Both are produced in the earth in geothermal processes. Both can be made artificially. Both are normally solids and highly stable. And they are both difficult to burn, even in an oxygen environment.
yes diamond is a better conductor of heat than graphite because heat travels through the shared bond and thus heat can travel very fast as is rate of heat transfer through conduction is inversely proportional to the length.graphite is not as a good conductor of heat as diamond because heat is transferred through the free electron and is not as effective as conduction process in diamond.
Diamond is a poor conductor of heat because of its tightly packed crystal lattice structure which does not allow the free movement of electrons. In contrast to metals, where electrons can easily move and transfer heat, diamond's strong carbon-carbon bonds restrict the transfer of energy through the material.
The diamond allotrope of carbon is important because it is very hard and a good conductor of heat.
Carbon is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
1st AnswerIt is a poor conductor. That is why you can walk barefoot on hot coals, but not on equally hot iron. 2nd AnswerHow well carbon conducts heat is entirely dependent on the form of the carbon. Carbon, in the form of powdered charcoal, is a poor heat conductor. Diamond is an excellent conductor of heat, and is much better than copper, which is the best conductor among elemental metals. Interestingly, graphene, another form of carbon, is even better than diamond, and can conduct heat five to ten times as easily as copper.
add. Diamond is an excellent conductor of heat - second only to graphene, and superior to silver. It is used as a thermal substrate for some semiconductor chips.have a crack at 'thermal conductivity' in wikipedia.
yes
Copper is a conductor. Diamond is an insulator.
Graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity, while anthracite, charcoal, and diamond are poor conductors.
yes
In general, metals are, indeed, better conductors of heat than other materials. There is one exception, however. The best conductor of heat we know of is an allotrope of carbon we call diamond. It is many times better than the best metals at conducting heat.
Actually diamond is the best conductor of heat, and a diamond film substrate is used as a heat conductor in some microprocessors. Silver and copper are the metals more commonly used as heat conductors because of cost.
