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.

What element has 3 substances?

An element is a pure substance it can not be 3 different substances. However some elements can arrange themselves to look like completely different substances. These variations are called "Allotropes" of the element. The element Sulfur forms 30 solid allotropes, more than any other element. The next element to commonly form allotropes is the element Carbon, which forms - Soot (amorphous carbon), Graphite, Diamond, Buckminsterfullerene, Lonsdaleite, Graphine, and Carbon nanotubes.


Is a diamond pure carbon?

There are three forms of pure carbon: graphite, coal, and diamond. All three can be made perfectly pure, although coal is usually the least pure when found in nature. All have some impurities when found in nature however.

What are 3 forms of carbon?

Graphite, diamonds, Lonsdaleite, C60 (Buckminsterfullerene), C540 Fullerene, C70 Fullerene, Amorphous carbon, and Single-walled carbon nanotube are all solid allotropes of carbon. Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element.

What is the ratio between pure and hybrid orbitals in butane?

What a bizarre question! The pure orbitals are on the hydrogen atom and the carbon 1s orbitals. Butane is C4H10- so 14 "pure orbitals". The carbon atoms all have four sp3 hybids- so 16 hybrid orbitals. Ration is 14:16.

How much carbon dioxide will be produced when one kilo of pure carbon burned?

What material found in nature can turn to diamond?

That would be coal. --------------------------------- The correct answer is Carbon - Coal is also a form of carbon as is Graphite. There are 3 grades of Coal - Lignite, which is 55% Carbon - Bituminous, which is 75 to 90 percent Carbon and Anthracite,which is 90% Carbon and 10% impurites.(such as Sulfur) In summary- Diamond, Coal and Graphite are all Different forms of Carbon


What are allotropes Give an example How are allotropes different from isotopes?

Allotropes are the different forms of a compound. For example iron has 3 well known allotropes: alpha iron (α) a.k.a. ferrite, gamma iron (γ) a.k.a. austenite, and delta iron (δ). They form depending on temperature and pressure the iron goes to. Another example is diamond and graphite which are both allotropes of carbon.


What are 3 important sources in carbon?

The 3 allotropes of Carbon are: Graphite, Diamonds, and Buckminsterfullerenes (Bucky Balls). They are composed entirely of Carbon but have different structural aspects.
