An allotrope refers to different forms of the same element where the atoms are bonded in different ways. This leads to variations in the physical and chemical properties of the element. In contrast, different phases of an element refer to the same form of bonding but under different conditions such as temperature and pressure.

How common is graphite?
Graphite is not rare as we know it. Graphite is an allotrope of the element carbon, and carbon is relatively abundant in the earth's crust. You can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite
What is the phase that starts just after the full moon?
Gibbous phase is from full to half.
Can you determine the element just by the number of neutrons?
It is the number of protons alone that determines elemental identity. Period. Different atoms of the sameelement can have different numbers of isotopes, called isotopes, but the nature of the element itself - its chemical identity - is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Only that.
Which phase of the Moon occurs when the Moon is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase?
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
What is the melting of the element rubidium called?
It's still called melting. We don't have a special name for when rubidium melts; it's just melting, or if you need something more elaborate, it is a phase change from solid to liquid.
What element are natural diamonds made of?
Basically a diamond is just an allotrope (a form) of the element carbon. It's made by carbon under very high pressure.
Which element is graphite composed of?
Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral that is composed of the element carbon (C). Graphite is made up of lots and lots of layers of carbon laid one on top of the other, and it is one allotrope of this element. Diamond, another natural mineral, is also made up of carbon. It is likewise an allotrope of that element, just as graphite is.
What is the pure form of diamond?
More correctly 'Diamond' is a pure form of carbon. To clarify further. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. It is how the carbon atoms are arranged in the adamantine crystal structure. Graphite is anopther pure form(allotrope) of carbon. Its just that the carbon atoms are arranged in a different way. A third pure form (allotrope) of carbon is the Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene). NB An ALLOTROPE is an element that exhits in different physical forms. Do NOT confuse with isotope. NNB Have a look in Wikipedia under Diamond/Adamantine Structure. Similarly, graphite structure , and Buckminster Fullerene structurte. They are all forms of PURE carbon . There is NO other element present.
What can be found in charcoal diamond and buckyballs?
They are all ALLOTROPES of carbon. It's just that the carbon atoms are arranged differently in each allotrope. NB Do not confuse allotrope , with isotope. The above are NOT isotopes. An allotrope of an element , is where it exhibits different physical chracteristics.
Is graphene an allotrope of carbon?
No, just a layer of graphite by itself
What is the state of matter sodium is in at boiling point?
The state of matter is changing, as with any element. However, just before the temperature reaches boiling point, it is in a liquid phase. Just after, it is in a gaseous phase. Boiling points differ based on the element, so this will be true with any element chosen.
What element are you?
you are made of several different elements, not just one.
What is the normal phase of einsteinium?
Ah, einsteinium is a fascinating element that exists in a solid phase at room temperature. It belongs to the actinide series on the periodic table, and its normal phase is a silvery-white metal. Just like painting, each element has its own unique beauty waiting to be explored.
What are some forms of phase changes?
Water exists as liquid water, ice or water vapor (steam). These are examples of phases of water. There is never more than one gas phase, because molecules in the gas phase do not form permanent bonds. Some compounds may exist in two or more solid phases. An example is graphite and diamond (yes, carbon is an element, but the carbon atoms are bonded differently in graphite and diamond. They are more properly regarded as different compounds, even though they consist of just one element.)
How do you know if being gay isn't just a phase?
There's actually no such thing as a gay phase. This is an outdated concept. There is a phase where some teens might worry about their sexual orientation, but that's a different issue.
Is a diamond a mixture or compound?
neither, its a mineral it is a mixture because when going through the process of making the diamond you have to add extra materials . i am only in 6 th so i am sorry if this is incorrect .
Can an element have many gram atomic weights?
No, not really. An element has a single atomic weight, which is the weighted average of all the isotopes of that element, weighted by their natural abundance. Each element only has a single atomic weight.What this means is that different atoms of a single element can weigh different amounts because different isotopes have different numbers of neutrons. However, the atomic weight represents the average for all forms of that element, and so there is only one value. The different isotopes of an element certainly have different mass numbers, which is just the sum of the number of neutrons and protons however.
