(a) What is buckminsterfullerene? How is it related to diamond and graphite?
(b) Why is diamond used for making cutting tools (like glass cutters) but graphite is not?
(c) Why is graphite used for making dry cell electrodes but diamond is not?
Answers
Answer:
A
Buckminsterfullerene is an allotrope of carbon containing clusters of 60 carbon atoms joined together to form spherical molecules. ... (c) Graphite is used for making dry cell electrodes but diamond is not b ecause graphite is a good conductor of electricity whereas diamond is a bad conductor of electricity
B. Because diamond is a natural hardest substance the nature and graphite is a soft substance in the nature. diamond is crystalline and graphite is non crystalline form.
C. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity while diamond is not and that's why graphite is used for making dry cell electrodes but diamond is not
