What object is made of one element?
Graphite, diamond
What is the name for bits of unburnt carbon?
charcoal graphite diamond
What year was carbon discovered?
Carbon was known from prehistoric times as graphite, coal, diamond.
Can electricity pass through carbon?
It depends on the form of the carbon, if it is charcoal or diamond (yes diamond) then no. But if it is graphite then yes. The reason why it can pass through graphite has to do with the bonding and the molecular structure of graphite which involves delocalised electrons not associated with any particular carbon atom, thereby providing a means by which to transfer charge.
What are 3 different forms of pure carbon?
Three forms or arrangements, in chemistry known as allotropes, of carbon are: diamond, graphite (pencil "lead"), and the fullerene or "bucky-ball," a soccer ball shaped arrangement of 60 carbon atoms.
Which mineral is a cousin to a diamond of chemical composition?
The mineral is carbon: allotropes include diamond, graphite and coal.
What is the symbol of diamond silicon and graphite?
Diamond and Graphite are allotropes of Carbon [chemical symbol: C]The chemical symbol of Silicon is Si.
Chemical composition of diamond?
Pure CARBON
Do Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical compositions and different crystalline structures?
Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical composition, which is pure carbon, but their crystalline structures are different. Graphite has a layered structure, while diamonds have a tightly packed, three-dimensional crystal lattice structure. This difference in structure gives them their unique physical properties.
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 graphite silicate or nonsilicate?
Graphite is a nonsilicate mineral composed primarily of carbon. It does not contain silicate minerals in its chemical composition.
Is there a gem or mineral that is similar to diamond and agate?
There are minerals like graphite that have the same chemical composition as diamond, and there are many gems that are simply quartz, like agate, but there are probably none that are similar to both diamond and agate.
What is an example of Polymorphism?
A polymorph is defined as same composition, different chemical structures. Quartz, cristobalite, and tridymite are examples of polymorph because they are three different minerals with the same chemical composition. Graphite and diamond are also good examples of polymorphism. They both contain carbon atoms, but they have extremely different properties because of the condition in which they formed. Diamond forms where extreme pressures and temperatures produce its compact structure. On the other hand, graphite forms under comparatively low pressures and it has weekly bonded carbon sheets that create its greasy feel. The difference in conditions makes diamond much harder than graphite and graphite much more useful as a lubricant.
Do graphite and diamond have the same chemical compositions and different crystaline structures?
Yes, it is correct.
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.
What are different forms of a element?
An element can exist in different forms called allotropes, which have the same chemical composition but different structures. For example, carbon can exist as graphite, diamond, or fullerene. These different forms of elements can have distinct physical and chemical properties.
What is the chemical name of diamond?
Carbon. Diamond is one of the forms of elemental carbon, these are called allotropes, the most common allotrope is graphite.
