Both graphite and diamond are composed of the element carbon, but have different crystalline structures.
Graphite is pure carbon with a specific crystalline structure.
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
Well to be very upfront diamond is very heated and compressed carbon (coal graphite) while graphite is more "pure" carbon than diamonds
Diamond and graphite have different structures which account for their different properties. Graphite is arranged into sheets which are easily removed. Diamond, on the other hand, is a network solid that has very strong bonds and intermolecular forces holding it together.
Different physical structures. Both are pure (or nearly so) carbon. Graphite is a powder made of tiny flakes, while diamond is a rigid crystal.
Yes, it is correct.
The crystalline structure of graphite and diamond are very different.
No. Both graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. They have different molecular structures.
Graphite is pure carbon with a specific crystalline structure.
Yes, diamond and graphite are isotopes of carbon as they are both entirely made of carbon. However they have very different structures resulting in their different properties.
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
There are no metals in graphite. Graphite is a pure crystalline form (allotrope) of the non-metal element carbon. The confusion arises because graphite conducts electricity.

Graphite, which is a form of crystalline carbon.
It is graphite, a soft crystalline carbon.
Diamond and graphite have different structures which account for their different properties. Graphite is arranged into sheets which are easily removed. Diamond, on the other hand, is a network solid that has very strong bonds and intermolecular forces holding it together.
Both coal and graphite are made of carbon, but in different molecular structures. Diamond is also made of carbon but in a highly ordered crystal structure.
