I am filling out a chem packet. Is what graphite, diamond and fullerene have in common is that they're all made of carbon?

My other problem is what are four alternative uses to copper for...
1)electrical wire 2)generators

Are copper's two alloys calcolite and cuperite? Thank you.

yes to the copper alloys...idk to the rest girl...good luck though!!

Yes, diamond, fullerenes, and graphite are carbon.

I think calcolite and cuperite are minerals. Also there is a geologic period known as calcolite.
Here is a link for alloys of copper. There are over 400 of them so "two" alloys is a misnomer. I suspect, however, that your prof may be looking for the two words, brass and bronze.
This site will give additional information.

Yes, what graphite, diamond, and fullerene have in common is that they are all made of carbon. Carbon is the elemental composition of these three allotropes.

As for alternative uses to copper for electrical wire and generators, there are several options:

1) Electrical Wire:
- Aluminum: Aluminum is commonly used as an alternative to copper for electrical wiring due to its light weight and lower cost. However, it has lower conductivity than copper and may require a larger cross-sectional area to carry the same amount of current.
- Silver: Silver is an excellent conductor of electricity and has even higher electrical conductivity than copper. However, it is much more expensive, so it is typically only used in specialized applications.

2) Generators:
- Permanent Magnets: Instead of using copper coils to generate a magnetic field, permanent magnets can be used. These magnets can create a magnetic field without the need for an electrical current. Permanent magnets can be made from materials such as neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) or samarium cobalt (SmCo).
- Superconducting Materials: Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance when cooled to very low temperatures. They can be used in generators to minimize energy loss due to resistance. Some examples of superconducting materials are yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) and magnesium diboride (MgB2).

Regarding your question about copper alloys, the two alloys you mentioned, calcolite and cuperite, do not exist. They are not recognized as official copper alloys. However, copper has numerous alloys that are widely used, such as bronze (copper and tin) and brass (copper and zinc). These alloys offer enhanced properties and are used for various applications in different industries.
