The enthalpies of combustion are practically identical.
Different is only the arrangement of atoms in diamond or graphite. Diamond and graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
CARBON
Diamond and Graphite are different states of the same element, 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.

Carbon.
CARBON
Allotropic carbon: Organic carbon graphite diamond All are pure carbon, just of different structural forms. In the case of carbon, lattice structural differences in the graphite and diamond forms.
Allotropy is when an element has different forms. Some allotropes of carbon include graphite, diamond, and Buckminsterfullerenes, as well as others.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_carbon
There are two Allotropic Forms of Carbon. They are the following: Diamond & Graphite. Diamond: The Diamond is hardest knwon substance (or Natural Substance). It is in Crystalline state. It's density is 3.51 gram per cubic centimeter. It's Melting Point is 3500 centigrade. It has high refractive index i-e: 2.45. It is a bad conductor of electricity. Pure Diamond is transparent to X-rays that's why we use X-rays to distinguish between real diamond & imitation diamond. It's structure is Tetrahedral structure.
The allotropic forms of carbon, Diamond, Graphite and others have only carbon-carbon bonds
The crystalline structure of graphite and diamond are very different.
Diamond and Graphite are different states of the same element, Carbon.
it is an allotropic form of carbon.
If YOU write in this area, your question goes to the "already answered" bucket- Besides its use as jewelry, Diamond is used where anything incredibly hard is needed. Diamond (dust) is used to make saw blades and drill bits that can cut through just about anything. Graphite, while also composed of carbon, has an entirely different crystal structure, and different uses. Graphite is used as an electrical contactor (a brush) in electrical motors. It makes a great dry lubricant for things like locks, and when mixed with clay, forms the "lead" for ordinary pencils.
