it is lustrous and a good conductor of heat and electricity, as most other non-metals are not.
----------
Some properties of graphite:
- anisotropy
- hexagonal rhombohedral crystalline structure (for the non-amorphous graphite)
- low hardness (1 to 2, Mohs scale)
- black color
- density: 2-2,25 g/cm3
- practically insoluble
- has lubricating property
- graphite has many forms, natural or artificial
What else can I help you with?
Does Graphite leave a clear streak?
i have no idea..... but its probably a no .. take my advice.
Can electricity pass through Graphite?
Yes. Graphite is not a great conductor of electricity, but it does allow electric current to flow. It is sometimes called a semi-metal because it has the property of conducting like other metals, but it is much less conductive. The resistance of graphite is about a thousand times greater than the resistance of other common metals such as aluminum and copper. However poor the conductivity of graphite is, it a long way from being an insulator. Graphite conducts electricity billions of time better than most common insulators like rubber and plastic. There are very few materials that fall in this middle area of being modest conductors, so graphite has a lot of uses when it comes to allowing a modest flow of electricity.
Magnetite displays which special property?
The special property that magnetite displays is that it is attracted by a magnet. Cleavage is the mineral property that explains why some minerals break along smooth, flat surfaces.
What is the luster of a graphite?
Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
Is H2O a metal or nonmetal?
H2O is neither a metal nor a nonmetal. It is a compound consisting of two nonmetal elements, hydrogen and oxygen.
Is graphite nonmetallic?
Yes, graphite is carbon, a nonmetal.
Is a graphite an nonmetal?
Graphite is carbon. Carbon is ordinarily classified as a nonmetal but has some metallic properties and is occasionally classified as a metalloid.
What nonmetal is a conductor of electricity?
Graphite is one!
What is the special property of graphite?
That you can also make graphine with it with a due process easy to follow.
Is Graphite a metal non-metal or mettaloids?
nonmetal, because it is a form of carbon and carbon is a nonmetal.
Why graphite a nonmetal?
Graphite is a form of the element carbon, which is a nonmetal. While it has a metallic luster and conducts electricity, graphite is brittle. Unlike metals, which are held together by metallic bonds, graphite is a covalent network solid. Other forms of carbon behave more clearly as nonmetals.
Is graphite a conductor or insulator?
Graphite is a conductor of electricity, but its conductivity varies greatly with direction: Conduction is high along the plane of the sheets of carbon atoms found in a single crystal of graphite, but much lower perpendicular to this plane.
Is a pencil a nonmetal?
The lead of a pencil is made mostly of the nonmetal carbon but the rest of the pencil is neither metal nor nonmetal (except for the bit of metal near the eraser) because it is not an element.
Is graphite a metalloid?
graphite is a form of carbon that forms in layers which is why it is able to be used in pencils, because the layers can slide off and get left on the page. Anyway carbon is a non-metal so graphite is a non-metal.
What is special about graphite?
its hard
Is the ability to conduct electricity a property of a nonmetal?
no
Is graphite lubricant a chemical or physical property?
The lubricating property of graphite is a physical property. The graphite does not undergo a chemical change when used as a lubricant.
