carbon is incorrect. the term graphite can only be used in combination with other
nouns or clarifying adjectives for special types of graphite materials (graphite electrodes,
natural graphite and others). the use of the term graphite without a noun or clarifying
adjective should be restricted to the allotropic form of the element carbon.;
