Diamond and graphite are both allotropes of carbon, meaning they are made up of the same element but have different structures. They are similar in that they are both composed of carbon atoms and have high melting points. However, they differ in their physical properties due to their different structures - diamond is the hardest natural substance, while graphite is a good conductor of electricity.

In what ways do graphite and diamond differ from each other?

Graphite and diamond differ in their atomic structure and physical properties. Graphite has a layered structure with weak bonds between layers, making it soft and a good conductor of electricity. Diamond has a rigid, three-dimensional structure with strong covalent bonds, making it the hardest natural substance and a poor conductor of electricity.
