Graphite has its own atomic structure of its basic carbon atoms. Subjecting it to very high temperature and pressure would not change its structure.

Carbon, when subjected to very high temperature and pressure can be crystallized into diamond structures.

Can you turn graphite into diamond?

Yes, graphite can be turned into diamond through a process called high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) treatment. This involves subjecting graphite to extreme pressure and heat, causing its atoms to rearrange into the structure of diamond.


How does magma become a diamond?

It doesn't. Diamond forms when graphite deep within the earth is subjected to intense heat and pressure. Magma does not create the diamonds, but it brings then to the surface, where we can find them.


What happens to graphite when you change it to diamond?

Graphite's carbon atoms will become more compact, and the density will increase to that of diamond. Both are made of carbon atoms, but different densities. By the way, I am answering the exact same question right now on my chemistry honors homework.


What does graphite turn into when put under pressure?

Graphite turns into diamonds when put under extreme pressure and heat. Diamond is a denser and harder form of carbon compared to graphite.


What is the rock called that can be turned into a diamond?

The rock that can be turned into a diamond is called carbon. Diamonds are formed from carbon molecules that have been subjected to high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's mantle over millions of years.


Carbon as graphite can be made into diamonds by putting the graphite under extreme pressure Which of the two materials do you think has the greater density graphite or diamond?

diamond


What element is found as a diamond in the periodic table?

A diamond consists almost entirely of carbon, which has been subjected to tremendous temperature and pressure for a very long time.


Can all diamonds become graphite overtime?

Diamond is a form of carbon which has been subjected to heat and pressure. I don't think you can reverse the reaction. Much to the dismay of insurance companies diamonds reverts to carbon dioxide when subjected to extreme heat: a furnace will do it.


When graphite is under extreme heats and pressure long period time graphite turns into which minerals?

Under extreme heat and pressure over long periods of time, graphite can transform into diamond. Diamond is a metastable allotrope of carbon that is formed through this process.


Is turning graphite into diamond exothermic?

Diamonds are formed from carbon, and so is graphite. The only time graphite is 'converted' to diamond is when a meteorite strikes earth. This can produce flakes of industrial diamonds that can be used by manufacturers to enhance tool usefulness, precision, and abrasive power.


What type of carbon is a diamond?

Diamond is carbon, but the atoms are linked in a rigid, three- dimensional lattice, with 4 covalent bonds at each atom. Since there are no free electrons, diamond is a non- conducter. Graphite is only a two dimensional lattice, with a free electron called the pi- electron, which allows it to conduct electricity. The fact that the atoms are joined in sheets which freely slide over each other makes it a good lubricant.simply diamond is crytalline form of carbon.


Can you melt a diamond and mix it with calcite?

Yes you can but it would take a very hot temperature for the diamond to melt. Not any normal hot temperature. Diamond has the highest melting point (3820 degrees Kelvin, or 6416.33 degrees F.)
