No, they are polymorphic.
Isomorphic is when they have different compositions, but same crystal forms
Polymorphic is when they have the same composition e.g. C for diamon/graphite, but different crystal forms

∙ 13y agoThey are both just simply carbon. They are both allotropes of carbon. They differ in their structure. I believe that diamond atoms are organized in a tetrahedral lattice while the graphite is made up of sheets of hexagonal lattice.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe atoms that make them up are the same but the way the atoms are bonded are different because graphite and diamonds are allotropes of carbon.

∙ 12y agoYes!
They're both made of Carbon! But they are different forms of it - called isotopes.

Do Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical compositions and different crystalline structures?
Both graphite and diamond are composed of the element carbon, but have different crystalline structures.
How are diamonds and graphites different and the same?
Different is only the arrangement of atoms in diamond or graphite. Diamond and graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
Do diamonds conduct electricity?
they don't conduct electricity: they have no free electrons. graphite, however, made of the same stuff as diamond (carbon) has a different structure, which means that it does have free electrons, and a lot of them. Therefore graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Is the structure of synthetic diamonds are the same as natural diamonds?
The arrangement of atoms is the same in synthetic and natural diamond.
How can diamond and graphite be made out of same substance and be so different?
They are so different because of the way the carbon atoms bond to each other. Graphite has layers of very strong bonds, but the layers are very weakly bonded to each other. Diamonds are so strong because all of its carbon atoms are uniformly bonded to one another.
Do Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical compositions and different crystalline structures?
Both graphite and diamond are composed of the element carbon, but have different crystalline structures.
How are diamonds and graphites different and the same?
Different is only the arrangement of atoms in diamond or graphite. Diamond and graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
WhaT of these is true about graphite?
Some interesting facts about graphite are that it shares the same chemical composition as a diamond, but not atomic structure. Also graphite is brittle, smudges if handled, and can be used as a conductor for electricity.
What do diamonds and pencil lead have in common?
Graphite is in pencils, and Graphite is made up of Carbon Atoms, the same as Diamond, the only difference is its structure, Diamond has 4 covalent Carbon Bonds, whereas, graphite as 3, and a spare delocalised electron, meaning, graphite forms layers and can be used as a lubricant.
Why are diamonds and graphite not the same mineral?
They are the same mineral: carbon. The difference is in their molecular architecture.
Do diamonds conduct electricity?
they don't conduct electricity: they have no free electrons. graphite, however, made of the same stuff as diamond (carbon) has a different structure, which means that it does have free electrons, and a lot of them. Therefore graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
How is diamonds and granite the same?
diamonds and graphite are the same as they are made of the same element: carbon. what makes them so different in apperance is the different way the carbon atoms are bonded.
Why is there an allotrope of silicon with the same structure as diamond but no allotrope of silicon with the same structure as graphite?
Because they have different properties.
Is the structure of synthetic diamonds are the same as natural diamonds?
The arrangement of atoms is the same in synthetic and natural diamond.
What type of bond is between carbon in diamond and graphite?
Graphite and diamond form a polymorphous mineral series which have identical chemical composition but different structures or shapes. The reason minerals with identical chemical composition can form different structures is due to the physical conditions, in particular temperature and pressure under which they formed. Graphite has a sheet structure horizontally with weak vertical bonds joining the horizontal sheets. This produces a weak unstable structure. Diamonds on the other hand have a very different structure and form a octahedron structure which is much more compact and denser structure and a much more stable compound which is the result of the extreme pressure during its formation.
How you made diamonds from tequila?
You cannot make diamonds from tequila -- their chemical properties are not the same.
What minerals are diamonds made up of?
Diamonds are made up of pure Carbon. In fact, it's the same with graphite, charcoal, and graphine. What makes diamonds special is the structure in which the Carbon atoms arrange themselves. In diamonds the Carbon atoms link together to form a lattice of pyramids. The triangle, being the strongest geometric figure in the world, gives the diamond its unprecedented strength and hardness. Titanium Oxides give diamonds their color.
