is carbon malleable?

Answer 1

No. Carbon ois a nonmetallic compound, whose cyrstal structure is such that is not conducive to malleability. In graphite form the weak bonds allow for the carbon to "rub off" the crystal structure. The diamond form of carbon allows for cleavage

I am a mechanical engineer so I will answer your question... Carbon Steel is definitely the more malleable. Carbon steel contains less carbon (ironically given the names) than Cast Iron. Cast Iron has so much carbon in fact that if you hit it with a hammer it will shatter like glass. Whereas carbon steel will usually bend or deform. Carbon atoms are much larger than the iron atoms that make up each material. Think of a bucket full of ping pong balls, now if you put a few baseballs in there too. the smaller ping pong balls (Iron atoms) can slide around easily because they are all the same size, hence it is malleable. when you introduce the baseballs (carbon atoms) they make it more difficult for the iron atoms to move, hence the metal becomes harder, yet more brittle.

RE:

Answer 5

No ... its most common forms are coals, graphite,and diamonds ... these are all more or less brittle and not malleable such as a metal would be

Answer 6

No, carbon is to the right of the "staircase" on the periodic table which makes it a non-metal. The properties of non-metals are: Nonmalleable, nonductile, nonconductors, and dull.
