Technically no, since an element defines that it is a single atom. Tungsten Carbide is a chemical compound consisting of Tungsten and Carbon (W2C) and Graphite is a form of pure carbon

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.


Is what is being called Tungsten jewelry actually the ceramic compound Tungsten Carbide or is there actual metallic Tungsten jewelry out there?

Tungsten jewelry is metallic. My husband and I have matching tungsten carbide rings with a mirror finsih. We have gotten so many compliments on them! The rings are super resistant to scratches. Some believe the only thing that can really scratch them is a diamond. We really enjoy our rings as they are heavy and we do not have to worry about them when we are doing things that many take jewelry off to do. There is a wedding band material called ceramic. It is not tungsten carbide. Ceramic comes in several colors and the most popular is black. What's great about ceramic rings is that the color is the same all the way through and is highly scratch resistant. This means that in the highly unlikely event that a black ceramic ring does scratch, the scratch will not be as apparent. Tungsten Carbide can be made into jewelry and is a metal. You can also combine these 2 materials together to make a highly scratch resistant and colorful ring.

Is Calcium acetylene and calcium carbide are same?

Calcium acetylene and calcium carbide are not the same. Calcium carbide is a chemical compound composed of calcium and carbon, while calcium acetylene is a gas produced when calcium carbide reacts with water. Calcium carbide is commonly used in the production of calcium acetylene for welding and cutting applications.


Does carbide and carbonate the same?

Carbonates contain the anion (CO3)-. Ex.: barium carbonate, BaCO3. Carbides are compounds formed from carbon and another element; ex.: silicon carbide, SiC.


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.


Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?

Is diamond or graphite an element or compound?

They are both the same element , viz. Carbon. Diamond and Graphite are different allotropes of carbon, together with Buckminster Fullerene (Footballene). An ALLOTROPE of an element is where the element exhibits different physical characteristics, such as appearance.


Different forms of the same element?

Allotropes-different forms of the same element ex. diamond and graphite for carbon different arrangement of the atoms Actually it is diamond, charcoal, and GRAPHITE... Not carbon


What element has an atomic number of 74?

The atomic number is the same as the number of protons. So, from an atomic number of 74, we can conclude that there are 74 protons. One proton cancels out the charge of one electron, therefore, equal numbers of protons and electrons results in a neutral particle. For an atom with 74 protons to be neutral, 74 electrons are needed to balance.
