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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Diamonds and pencil "lead" are made entirely of the element carbon (C, atomic # 6). Graphite is the correct term for pencil "lead," which obviously isn't really lead. Diamond and graphite are allotropes, which means different atomic arrangements of the same element.

Diamond and pencil lead (graphite) are both forms of the element carbon. Different pure forms of an element, like diamond and graphite, are called allotropes. In diamond the carbon atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral pattern, forming a very hard substance. In graphite the carbon atoms are arranged in sheets which slide easily over each other, making it suitable for use in pencils.
Carbon is the element in a diamond and in pencil lead.

Answer 3

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. The lead (not led!) in pencils is made of graphite (another allotrope of carbon but, whereas diamond is usually very pure, the graphite is modified with the addition of other materials to alter its properties - make it harder, for example.

Answer 4

Diamonds are made of carbon atoms bonded in a crystal lattice structure, while pencil lead is comprised mostly of graphite, which is also made of carbon atoms arranged in layers. Both materials are composed primarily of carbon, but their different structures result in distinct properties.

Answer 5

they are both carbon - diamond is hard carbon and pencil lead is graphite which is soft

Answer 6

carbon

Answer 7
