Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Carbon (C) & Facts, Color, Uses ... 2022

Size of things changes depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion. It's even the case for Carbon. Ok, so what is the coefficient of thermal expansion for an atom of C?

Note: Learn more about the coefficient of thermal expansion here.

In the case of Carbon this thermal coefficient is 1.0 10^-6 K^-1. By the way, did you know there are cool facts about Carbon that most don't know? Check this...
