Which non metal forms the lead' in a pencil?
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
Is the electrode the metal or graphite rod in an electric cell?
Tt depends on the metal which is the cathode and which is the anode. However, in most cases, graphite is the cathode and the metal is the anode. the strictly correct answer is that BOTH the metal and the graphite rod are electrodes. You must have two electrodes minimum to create a cell.
Is Graphite a metal non-metal or mettaloids?
nonmetal, because it is a form of carbon and carbon is a nonmetal.
Why does metal stick to graphite?
Metal can stick to graphite due to a phenomenon called adhesion, where two surfaces come into contact and create intermolecular forces that hold them together. In this case, van der Waals forces between the atoms of the metal and the graphite can cause them to stick together. Additionally, the rough surface of graphite can provide more contact points for the metal, further enhancing the adhesion.
Is graphite stronger than aluminum?
No, graphite is not stronger than aluminum. Aluminum is a metal known for its strength and durability, while graphite is a form of carbon known for its lightness and lubricating properties.
Is conductive graphite a metal?
Graphite is not a metal.
Is the rod in an electric cell metal or graphite?
Graphite
Why is graphite usually non-metal?
Graphite is a form of carbon.
Why graphite is used in battery?
Graphite is the only non-metal exception that can conduct electricity. Hence, even though graphite is a non-metal, it is used in batteries.
Is graphite a metalloid?
graphite is a form of carbon that forms in layers which is why it is able to be used in pencils, because the layers can slide off and get left on the page. Anyway carbon is a non-metal so graphite is a non-metal.
Which non metal forms the lead' in a pencil?
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
What is a non-metal conductor?
Graphite
What non-metal is a good conductor?
Graphite
Is the electrode the metal or graphite rod in an electric cell?
Tt depends on the metal which is the cathode and which is the anode. However, in most cases, graphite is the cathode and the metal is the anode. the strictly correct answer is that BOTH the metal and the graphite rod are electrodes. You must have two electrodes minimum to create a cell.
Which non metal is good conductor of electricity?
Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.
Which metal is used in pencils?
Graphite is the material commonly used in pencils, not metal. The graphite is mixed with clay to create the core of the pencil, which is then encased in wood.
What are the metals in graphite called?
There are no metals in graphite. Graphite is a pure crystalline form (allotrope) of the non-metal element carbon. The confusion arises because graphite conducts electricity.
