How do we know graphite is a metal?
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
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.
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 a metal non-metal or mettaloids?
nonmetal, because it is a form of carbon and carbon is a nonmetal.
What special property does the non-metal graphite have?
it is lustrous and a good conductor of heat and electricity, as most other non-metals are not. ---------- Some properties of graphite: - anisotropy - hexagonal rhombohedral crystalline structure (for the non-amorphous graphite) - low hardness (1 to 2, Mohs scale) - black color - density: 2-2,25 g/cm3 - practically insoluble - has lubricating property - graphite has many forms, natural or artificial
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.
How do we know graphite is a metal?
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
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.
Which property makes a metal useful in electrcal devices?

What is a non-metal conductor?
Graphite
what is a property of metal which makes it a good material to use as a switch?
Copper and brass
