What matter is carbon graphite?

pure carbon. its the same as diamond


What are some of uses of graphite?

carbon and graphite are one in the same, graphite is a form of carbon a use for graphite is the lead in your pencil (it's not actually lead, it's graphite) and it is also a good lubricant ;)


A diamond and your pencil lead graphite are made of this same element?

graphite in a pencil and diamond are from carbon .both are the allotrope of carbon


Do diamond and graphite form the same product when burnt?

No, diamond and graphite do not form the same product when burnt. Diamond will convert into carbon dioxide gas, while graphite will also convert into carbon dioxide gas.


Are carbon and graphite same materialwhy?

Carbon fibers are made almost entirely of graphite. Carbon fiber composite, sometimes referred to as "carbon fiber", is made of carbon fibers and a matrix material, which is usually a plastic such as epoxy.


How are diamond and graphite made the same?

They are not made the same- but they come from the same element- carbon. However, carbon can take different crystal shapes. One of those is graphite, a very different one is diamond.


Are carbon and graphite same material?

Yes. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are composed of the same element but the arrangement differs. Diamond and fullerenes are also allotropes of carbon. Allotropes of carbon differ in the arrangement of the carbon atoms. The structure of graphite enables it to be used in pencils (the "lead") and as a lubricant, but the arrangement of carbon in diamond makes it the hardest substance known on the earth.


Why are diamonds and graphite not the same mineral?

They are the same mineral: carbon. The difference is in their molecular architecture.


If a substance forms crystals when it solidifies its melting and freezing points are the same?

Melting and freezing points are identical.


In what ways are diamond and graphite similar?

Diamond and graphite are both allotropes of carbon, meaning they are made up of the same element but have different structures. They are similar in that they are both composed of carbon atoms and have high melting points. However, they differ in their physical properties due to their different structures - diamond is the hardest natural substance, while graphite is a good conductor of electricity.


What can exist in more than one form in the same state iron neon iodine or carbon?

Carbon: diamond, graphite, glassy graphite, graphene, fullerene etc.


Is graphite and diamond an element?

No, graphite and diamond are not elements. They are both forms of the element carbon. Carbon is the element, while graphite and diamond are allotropes, which are different forms of the same element with different physical and chemical properties.
