Allotropes of carbon, that is the different structures pure carbon forms are made in the following ways.

graphite is formed by carbon deposits put under pressure causing the carbon to form hexagonal latticed sheets.

When graphite is subject to intense pressure and heat it will form a much stronger crystal lattice which is diamond.

Graphene

Graphene is difficult to make, it is essentially a single sheet of graphite just one molecule thick. it is normally chemically synthesized at a great cost. You can make it in you own home however by rubbing some graphite pencil lead on sellotape folding it over then tearing it back. And there's a small chance that you may peel off a layer 1 molecule thick. Not that you'd notice.

The carbon-carbon double bond in tetrachloroethene is a covalent bond. Specifically, it consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond. The sigma bond is formed by head-on overlap of orbitals, while the pi bond is formed by the side-to-side overlap of p-orbitals.
