What is the difference between two atoms of carbon having the same number of neutrons?
carbon rod, graphite, diamond.
What is the difference between sand and graphite?
Grapihite is pure carbon; sand may be silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, powdered lava, etc.
What is the difference between charcoal graphite and diamond?
Diamonds are very hard, and graphite is very soft.
Is graphene going to be put on the periodic table?
Yes Graphite is a MINERAL!!!!
Why is graphite suitable for making carbon contacts?
Graphite is an allotropic form of carbon.
What is the difference between two atoms of carbon having the same number of neutrons?
carbon rod, graphite, diamond.
Similarities between Graphite and Fullerenes?
difference between diamond graphite and fullrene
What element forms both graphite and diamond?
The element is carbon, and the difference between these two allotropes is the crystal lattice formation that develops in each, based on where each is formed.
Is graphite a silicate or carbon?
Graphite is carbon.
What is the difference between sand and graphite?
Grapihite is pure carbon; sand may be silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, powdered lava, etc.
What is graphite made of?
Graphite is a form of carbon.
What is the structural difference between a diamond and graphite?
graphite has hexagonal crystals and diamond tetrahedron
How hard is carbon?
That would completely depend upon the form of Carbon. Carbon can be found as coal, graphite, or diamond to name a few.
Why do the freezing points of graphite and carbon are same?
Graphite is carbon
Why are diamonds and graphite not the same mineral?
They are the same mineral: carbon. The difference is in their molecular architecture.
What is the difference between Diamonds and graphite?
Diamond and graphite are both pure carbon but graphite's atoms attach to three other carbon atoms and are connected in plates that are parallel to eachother. Diamond's atoms attach to four other carbon atoms in a crystal form, and graphite is a lot softer than diamond.
Which is the best reason for the difference between the properties of diamond and graphite?
Graphite and diamonds are both network covalent carbon chains. The only difference is the structure of each. Graphite is very soft and is used as a lubricant, due to the fact that its carbon atoms are bonded together in layers which slide apart easily. Diamond, however, is very abrasive, because its carbons are all bonded to each other in a very rigid fashion.
