because they are of allotropes of carbon.
There is only ONE element that makes diamonds. It is Carbon. Carbon has THREE(3) allotropes viz., Diamond, Graphite, and Buckminster Fullerene. An ALLOTROPE is were an element exhibits different physical characteristics.
Graphite and diamonds have the same chemical composition, which is pure carbon, but their crystalline structures are different. Graphite has a layered structure, while diamonds have a tightly packed, three-dimensional crystal lattice structure. This difference in structure gives them their unique physical properties.
Carbon is a commodity. Pure carbon is sold as diamonds, graphite, coal, coke, charcoal, carbon black, Fullerene and activated carbon.
Carbon is the mineral found in coal, graphite, and diamonds. The different arrangements of carbon atoms lead to the diverse properties of these materials.
The three forms of the element carbon are diamond, graphite, and fullerenes (such as buckyballs and nanotubes). Each form has distinct properties and structures due to different arrangements of carbon atoms.
Everything has 'properties' used to identify the object/ item/ mineral/ material.
An element can exist in different forms called allotropes, which have the same chemical composition but different structures. For example, carbon can exist as graphite, diamond, or fullerene. These different forms of elements can have distinct physical and chemical properties.
No. Both graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. They have different molecular structures.
