Which of the following is an example of a carbon allotrope?
There are many allotropes of carbon, some are:Amorphous Carbon (No real structure to speak of)Diamond (Tetrahedral Crystalline Structure)Graphite (Hexagonal 'Graphene' Sheets)C-nanotubes (Cylindrical Graphene)Buckyballs (Spherical Graphene)Note that buckyballs and carbon nanotubes are templates of the 'fullerene family' of carbon allotropes, of which there are many.Another note: Soot is not an allotrope of carbon, it is a collection of particles left from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not an allotrope since it contains oxygen.
Diamonds and graphite are examples of what solid?
Diamonds and graphite are both allotropes of carbon.
What element is name of diamond and graphite?
Both diamonds and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
Why graphite is anisotropic with respect to conduction of electricity?
Its molecular structure is a sheet, this creates the anisotropy.
How does graphene form?
Graphene is formed by peeling extremely thin layers of graphite off of a larger piece, in the original paper published on graphene it was done using tape.
The three allotropes of carbon?
diamond graphite and graphene
Does graphite make diamonds?
No. Graphite and diamond are both allotropes of carbon, each with a different and distinct molecular structure.
Is grahite a mixture?
No. Graphite is a pure element, it is an allotrope of Carbon.The allotropes of the element Carbon are :- diamond, graphite, graphene, amorphous carbon and buckminsterfullerenes.
Is graphite in diamonds?
No. Both graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. They have different molecular structures.
Does carbon conduct electricity?
Graphite (an allotrope of carbon) and graphene does conduct electricity whilst other allotropes of carbon such as diamond do not.
How do electrons help graphite conduct electricity?
Electrons move free in the planar, layered structure (graphene) of graphite.
What is a graphene filter?
Graphene is a sheet of Carbon atoms, or one layer of Graphite ("lead" in a pencil). A graphene filter is a filter made of graphene.
Are carbon and graphite same material?
Yes. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are composed of the same element but the arrangement differs. Diamond and fullerenes are also allotropes of carbon. Allotropes of carbon differ in the arrangement of the carbon atoms. The structure of graphite enables it to be used in pencils (the "lead") and as a lubricant, but the arrangement of carbon in diamond makes it the hardest substance known on the earth.
What is the molecular structure of a pencil?
Wood, graphite, and metal.

What is graphene?
Graphene is a very thin layer of graphite. It is so thin, it is so close to being invisible!
What are graphite and diamonds allotropes of?
Carbon, (C).
