Not used today but possible in the future:
- carbon nanotubes
- doped carbon as CaC6
No silicon is an element in the same group as carbon, it has similar chemical properties but it is not carbon.
NO!!! Diamonds are an allotrope of carbon. Each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with four adjacent carbon atoms. The result is the ADAMANTINE structure ( Very similar to a pyramid).
Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral that is composed of the element carbon (C). Graphite is made up of lots and lots of layers of carbon laid one on top of the other, and it is one allotrope of this element. Diamond, another natural mineral, is also made up of carbon. It is likewise an allotrope of that element, just as graphite is.
It depends on the type, or allotrope, of carbon you're talking about. For a material to conduct electricity, it should have free electrons to carry the electrical current. In diamond, an allotrope of carbon, there are no such free electrons. This means that diamond does not conduct electricity. However, graphite, another allotrope of carbon, conducts electricity very well because it has an entire "sea" of free electrons.
Graphene is made of carbon atoms arranged in a single layer in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure. It is not considered a mineral but rather a crystalline allotrope of carbon.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
The tools used for cutting and drilling applications are tipped with diamond, the hardest substance on earth, which is an allotrope of Carbon.
The carbon nanofoam is the 5th allotrope of carbon which is found in 1997.but it was confirmed in 2010.
Diamond, graphite and carbon black are the most common allotropes of CARBON
A diamond.
Diamond is the hardest mineral currently known and is an allotrope of carbon.
A diamond is an allotrope of carbon
It is one of forms of carbon
Because it is an allotrope of carbon. It is a different structural form of the element carbon having a rather flat lattice structure that tends to be in sheets.
There are eight allotropes of carbon. Bucky ball is one of the allotrope of carbon. Bucky ball is also called fullerene
graphite
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
