WhaT of these is true about graphite?
Some interesting facts about graphite are that it shares the same chemical composition as a diamond, but not atomic structure. Also graphite is brittle, smudges if handled, and can be used as a conductor for electricity.
Which mineral is used as a lubricant for locks and in pencils?
Graphite Chemical Composition: C
Is schist the same as mica schist?
No. Mica schist is a schist with a preponderance of mica minerals. There are also chlorite schists, talc schist, and so on.
What does a diamond and lead have in common?
If you are referrring to lead as the thing that is found in pencils, then the lead is actually graphite, and graphite and Diamond are both pure carbon, just arranged differently chemical composition.
Is mica garnet and chloride in schist?
Schist has A LOT of mica in it
What is graphite schist?
It is a medium-grade metamorphic rock with a preponderance of the platy mineral graphite.
What are graphite schist's qualities?
it has a metallic luster usually silver and black :)
What is a Metamorphic rock containing minerals such as talc and mica and quartz or graphite called?
schist
What is the color of schist?
The color of schist depends on its mineral composition. It can be gray, yellow, light or dark green, brown, or even black.
The chemical composition of graphite and diamond is?
Graphite and Diamonds are both allotropes of Carbon.
How does the structure of graphite account for the design of graphite electrodes?
The structure of graphite accounts for the design of graphite electrodes in the sense that the tight structural composition of graphite makes it easy for them to be arranged in electrodes.
What is gneiss and schist?
Both are foliated metamorphic rocks in which individual minerals can be seen with the naked eye. The difference is that gneiss is generally more coarsely crystalline and has color banding and schist smells bad.
Which mineral shows no cleavage has a hardness of 6.5 and a composition of SIO?
Graphite

Why are dark minerals denser than white minerals?
That would mean coal is harder than Quartz schist. Granite is harder than graphite. No foundation for this assumption.
Is schist the same as mica schist?
No. Mica schist is a schist with a preponderance of mica minerals. There are also chlorite schists, talc schist, and so on.
