5.85g/12gmol-1 (for carbon) = 0.4875mol. 0.4875(6.02x1023) = 2.935x1023 carbon atoms. Basically, moles times Avogadro's number equals number of representative particles.

Why do graphite not react with oxygen at room temperature?

Graphite does not react with oxygen at room temperature because graphite has a stable structure of carbon atoms bonded to each other in layers, which makes it highly resistant to chemical reactions. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in graphite make it difficult for oxygen to break into the structure and react with the carbon atoms.


How is graphite different from other types of allotropes of carbon?

Graphite consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure, which allows it to have a soft and slippery texture. Other allotropes of carbon, such as diamond, have different arrangements of carbon atoms that make them harder and have different physical properties. Graphene, another allotrope, is a single layer of graphite but has unique electronic properties that make it a promising material for various applications.


How do you make molecular model of graphite?

To make a molecular model of graphite, you can represent it using a 3D structure of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms linked together in layers. You can use modeling kits or software to create a visual representation of the hexagonal structure, showing the layers of carbon atoms arranged in a flat sheet. Graphite has a structure where each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement, forming a network of hexagonal rings.


Why is it hard to convert graphite into diamond?

It needs heat and pressure to convert graphite into diamond due to the requirement to rearrange the atoms making up one structure into the arrangement required in the other. This makes it an industrially challenging process in order to be a cost effective method.Another AnswerGraphite and diamond are both allotropes of carbon. One is not made from the other, but both are formed from carbon.


Carbon atoms can bond together to form?

Different arrangements in allotropes like coal, graphite, diamond or buckmisterfullerenes. Also, the arrangement varies across different compounds containing carbons: cyclic and acyclic hydrocarbons, for example.

How the electricity is conducted from graphite?

graphite is made from carbon atoms and carbon atoms try to make 4 bonds with each other, but in graphite theres only 3 bonds leaving an extra electron to pass the electrical current through

Are the atoms in the diamond stronger then the one in a graphite?

The carbon atoms that make up diamond are (within certain parameters) no different than the atoms found within the graphite. The strength between the two minerals comes from the structure/organization of the carbon, not the "strength" of atoms.


What atoms make graphite in pencil?

Though the archetypal pencil was an artist's brush, the stylus, a thin metal stick used for scratching in papyrus or wax tablets, was used extensively by the Romans,[3] and for palm-leaf manuscripts.

Is wood is harder than graphite?

No, generally graphite is softer than wood. Wood is composed of cellulose fibers and lignin that can make it harder than the carbon atoms in graphite, which are arranged in layers that can easily slide past each other.


What elements make up graphite?

carbon


What element is diamond and your pencil led are made of?

Yes, carbon.supplement. when an element exists in two or more forms, these forms are known as an allotrope. Carbon has three allotropes, graphite, diamond, and ordinary carbon.


Do diamonds and graphite have the same chemical structure?

No, they are polymorphic.Isomorphic is when they have different compositions, but same crystal formsPolymorphic is when they have the same composition e.g. C for diamon/graphite, but different crystal forms


What allotrope of carbon is used to make pencils?

yea. actually graphite, allitopes element of carbon. its not really all LEAD
