Pure carbon is encountered in eleven different forms or allotropes. All forms of carbon are solid at room temperature, are relatively resistant to chemical corrosion and they all burn to form CO and CO2 when heated to high temperatures in the presence of oxygen.
The difference between these forms can be subtle and in our everyday experience we encounter them mainly in one of three important forms:
- graphite
- diamond
- lamp black
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon malluable?
Yes, carbon is malleable. It can be easily shaped or deformed under pressure without breaking. Carbon is commonly found in its malleable forms, such as graphite or diamond, which have different properties due to their unique molecular structures.
Diamonds and graphite may seem very different however they share a characteristic. What is that characteristic?
composition
What characteristic do all organic compounds have in common?
All organic compounds have carbon as a common characteristic.
What atoms are in wax?
Mostly just carbon and hydrogen. A wax sort of a "hydrocarbon" with some oxygen.
Why isn't carbon a metal?
because its physical and chemical properties are not all like the metals so thus its considered as a non-metal. Among such characteristics, carbon is brittle, formed molecular rather than ionic compounds, forms covalent rather than metallic bonds with itself, and in most forms (graphite is an exception) is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
What are the common properties and characteristic of light?
wheat are the common properties and characteristic of light
Is carbon dioxide or the growth of microorganism a characteristic of life?
Carbon dioxide is NOT a life characteristic.
What are 3 properties of carbon?
what are the 3 properties of carbon?
Do characteristic properties change?
No, they are not
Is Boiling point and Melting point considered characteristic properties of matter?
Melting and boiling points are characteristic properties of matter.
What is the characteristic of a carbon?
gas
How are characteristic properties of given substance different from its other properties and chemical properties?
A substance's characteristic properties are the most recognizable properties of that substance. Chemical properties are exhibited as one substance is chemically transformed into another (e.g., iron rusting).
What constant properties that are most useful in identifying a substance?
Characteristic properties.
What are the properties of Low carbon?
it has no properties
What is the difference between a characteristic property and non-characteristic property?
PHYSICAL (smell, color, texture, size, etc)--NON CHARACTERISTIC GENERAL (general stuff about the substance all together)-CHARACTERISTIC Characteristic properties help us identify pure substances or the group it belongs to. Non-characteristic properties cannot help us identify pure substances or the group it belongs to.
Is mass characteristic property?
No definitely not.Because a characteristic property should not change.It is used to identify a substance.Mass and Volume are not characteristic properties whereas Density is a characteristic property of the substance .
Do characteristic properties of matter change?
nope
