Graphite itself can be considered a chemical name, because it denotes a particular chemical structure of carbon, which is the only element in pure graphite but is also the only element in pure diamond, which has very different properties. This is analogous to the situation for oxygen, which is also a single element but has at least two distinct chemical names, diatomic oxygen and ozone, the latter applying to a form with three rather than two atoms per molecule.
