Diamond and graphite are both composed of carbon, but they are physically different from each other. Diamond is the hardest mineral known, is usually transparent and very abrasive. Graphite on the other hand, is soft, opaque and a very good lubricant.
The atoms are bonded and arranged differently. In graphite, the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized and each carbon atom is directly bonded to three others. This forms flat sheets of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons (kind of like chicken wire) where the individual layers are fairly strong, but there are only weak interactions between the layers. This gives graphite some interesting properties; it's significantly stronger in some directions than in others and the electrical conductivity is low in the direction perpendicular to the layers but fairly good in the directions parallel to the layers. In diamond, the carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized and each carbon atom is bonded to four others in a tetrahedral lattice. In a perfect crystal of diamond, you could get from any carbon atom to any other carbon atom in the crystal by following a series of covalent bonds; you never have to jump through space like you would to get from one graphite layer to another. This network of covalent bonds makes diamond extremely strong.
Diamond, Graphite, Soot and Graphene are all different forms of Carbon.
Diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
Yes.
Both diamonds and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
Diamond, which like , graphite, is an allotrope of carbon . If you heat diamond it weill turn to graphite.
Carbon is the only element necessarily contained in diamond and graphite.
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.
in diamond carbon is sp3 hybridized while in graphite itz sp2 raahat
Graphite and Diamonds are both allotropes of 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.
Diamond and Graphite are different states of the same element, Carbon.
Both diamonds and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
Diamond, which like , graphite, is an allotrope of carbon . If you heat diamond it weill turn to graphite.
graphite in a pencil and diamond are from carbon .both are the allotrope of carbon
Different is only the arrangement of atoms in diamond or graphite. Diamond and graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
Both diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
Diamond, graphite and carbon black are the most common allotropes of CARBON
Solid carbon (C) may be diamond, graphite, coal, carbon black etc.
Carbon is the only element necessarily contained in diamond and graphite.
Diamond, graphite, and buckminsterfullerene are made of pure carbon and are insoluble in water.
