What do a diamond and a lump of coal and graphite have in common?

What do diamonds and pencil lead have in common?

Graphite is in pencils, and Graphite is made up of Carbon Atoms, the same as Diamond, the only difference is its structure, Diamond has 4 covalent Carbon Bonds, whereas, graphite as 3, and a spare delocalised electron, meaning, graphite forms layers and can be used as a lubricant.


What is the chemical name of diamond?

Carbon. Diamond is one of the forms of elemental carbon, these are called allotropes, the most common allotrope is graphite.


How many allotropic forms of carbon?

There are several allotropic forms of carbon, with some of the most common ones being graphite, diamond, and fullerene. Each form has different structural arrangements of carbon atoms, leading to unique physical and chemical properties.


Is graphite more stable thermodynamically than diamond?

It is, so diamond will become graphite over time. The structure of diamond hinders the necessary kinetics, so the process is very slow, unnoticeable most of the time. It's because the standard enthalpy of formation of graphite is 0; but diamonds is not equal to 0.


What is carbon allotrope made up of?

An allotrope is a form of an element that is made up of the same element, but with a different structure. Its different structure gives it different properties. So any allotrope of carbon is still made up of carbon, but has different physical characteristics. Graphite is perhaps the most common allotrope of carbon, but it is the same element as diamond. The most common allotropes of carbon are: -Graphite: The "lead" used in modern pencils -Diamond: A valuable precious stone that is usually clear -Buckminsterfullerene: Also known as "Buckyballs" this artificial allotrope of carbon is made up of small, soccerball shaped balls that each contain 60 atoms


What is made of carbon only?

Graphite and diamond are only composed of carbon. There are a number of others and for more information on these, please see the related link.
