Carbon Graphite Cylinder. The mineral graphite is one of the allotropes of carbon. It was named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789 from the Greek graphein (to draw/write),for its use in pencils,where it is commonly called lead,as distinguished from the actual metallic element lead. Unlike diamond (another carbon allotrope),graphite is an electrical conductor,a semimetal,and can be used,for instance,in the electrodes of an arc lamp | |
