Why graphite is less denser than diamond?
larger crystals
What does graphite turn into when put under pressure?
Diamond, which like , graphite, is an allotrope of carbon . If you heat diamond it weill turn to graphite.
Why does diamond have a greater density than graphite?
The covalent bonds in the diamond are shorter than the distance between the layers in graphite. Also the atoms present in the diamond arepacked closer together.
Which element makes up a diamond and graphite?
Carbon is the only element necessarily contained in diamond and graphite.
What is the symbol of diamond silicon and graphite?
Diamond and Graphite are allotropes of Carbon [chemical symbol: C]The chemical symbol of Silicon is Si.
Graphite is more common than diamond?
Yes, graphite is more common than diamond.
How are diamonds and graphites different and the same?
Different is only the arrangement of atoms in diamond or graphite. Diamond and graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
What mineral is softer than a diamond?
all minerals
Why graphite is less denser than diamond?
larger crystals
What does graphite turn into when put under pressure?
Diamond, which like , graphite, is an allotrope of carbon . If you heat diamond it weill turn to graphite.
The chemical composition of graphite and diamond is?
Graphite and Diamonds are both allotropes of Carbon.
Which can be used as a lubricant - graphite or diamond?
graphite
Which has the less density graphite or diamond?
Graphite is less dense than diamond, due to the differences in crystal structure.
A human fingernail has a hardness of approximately 2.5 Which two minerals are softer than a human fingernail?
Graphite and Talc
Do both diamond and graphite have a crystal structure?
Yes. Diamond is isometric, graphite is hexagonal.
What is the structural difference between a diamond and graphite?
graphite has hexagonal crystals and diamond tetrahedron
Why are diamond and graphite polymorphic?
Diamond and Graphite are different states of the same element, Carbon.
