Graphite and diamond both are compounds of carbon. These are allotropes of carbon. Graphite has a layered, planar structure. In each layer, the carbon atoms are arranged in a hexagonal lattice with separation of 0.142 nm, and the distance between planes is 0.335 nm.[6] The two known forms of graphite are, alpha(hexagonal) and beta (rhombohedral).
A diamond is a transparent crystal of tetrahedral bonded carbon atoms (sp3) that crystallizes into the diamond lattice which is a variation of the face centered cubic structure.

What element is name of diamond and graphite?
Both diamonds and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
Diamonds and coal both made of what?
Carbon!!!! Carbon has three allotropes, they are Diamond Graphite (coal) Buckyballs ( Buckminster Fullerene).
Is graphite and diamond an element?
The element carbon can exist in a variety of forms, which include both graphite and diamond, as well as coal, and buckminsterfullerene.
Are carbon and graphite same materialwhy?
Carbon fibers are made almost entirely of graphite. Carbon fiber composite, sometimes referred to as "carbon fiber", is made of carbon fibers and a matrix material, which is usually a plastic such as epoxy.
Is it possible to convert carbon in the diamond to graphite and use it as a pencil?
No. While both sraphite and diamond ARE carbon, they are totally different crystals of carbon.
The chemical composition of graphite and diamond is?
Graphite and Diamonds are both allotropes of Carbon.
How are diamonds and graphite alike?
Both diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
What element is name of diamond and graphite?
Both diamonds and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
How are diamond and graphite?
both are made of carbon
Are both graphite and diamonds compound?
Both diamond and graphite are allotropes of pure carbon.
A diamond and your pencil lead graphite are made of this same element?
graphite in a pencil and diamond are from carbon .both are the allotrope of carbon
How can diamond and graphite both be carbon?
This is because the carbon atoms are arranged differently in diamond and graphite. In a diamond, the carbon atoms are in a three dimensional crystal lattice structure. In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in a two dimensional sheet.
Is graphite in diamonds?
No. Both graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. They have different molecular structures.
Graphite and diamond are examples of?
Both graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon.
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.
Are diamond and graphite isotopes of carbon?
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.
Diamonds and coal both made of what?
Carbon!!!! Carbon has three allotropes, they are Diamond Graphite (coal) Buckyballs ( Buckminster Fullerene).
