How do the differences in carbon bonds explain why graphite and diamonds have different properties?
They are arranged differently. Graphite forms in thin layers. Imagine a stack of thin papers. Every time you press down on a pencil, a few layers rub off onto the surface you are writing on and stay there. Diamonds, on the other hand, form in much stronger and complex forms, which are almost impossible to break. This makes it one of the strongest substances on Earth.
What is the bond order for NF?
The bond order of NO is 2.5
Why does graphite conduct electricity whereas diamond does not and they are both allotropes?
Diamond and Graphite have 2 different structures, Diamond has a rigid tetrahedral network whereas Graphite has layers which completely changes the properties of both types of carbon. Basically graphite has free delocalised electrons which means electricity can be conducted, diamond however does not have any delocalised electrons which means it cannot conduct electricity. Both diamond and graphite are made up of strong covalent bonds which means they both have high melting points. Graphite is soft though because the layers which it is made up of slide, this makes it soft. Diamond is made up of carbon atoms close to each other and in a 3 layered cube shape which is a lot more rigid and this makes it 'the hardest substance on earth'. Hope this helps, Obrien9
What is the bond order of SO?

What do graphite and diamonds have in common?
Both Diamond and Graphite are the formation of Carbon Atoms, Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance while diamond is Transparent and posseses shiny appearance, Diamond is a Hard Rock while Graphite is comparatively softer.
Differnce between diamond and graphite?
diamonds form a 3 dimensional latice. they also have have four bonds per atom. This makes a very strong material. graphite forms a 2 dimensional latice. it has 3 bonds per atoms (the fourth bond is added to the other three making partial double bonds). it forms sheets. it has excellent 2-d strength: it is what is used in carbon fibers. it also is an excellent lubricant because the sheets slide on one another. fullerenes are like graphite, but the small sheets are wrapped up into small balls or tubes. this gives them 3 d strength on a nano scale. But they lack large scale 3d properties

Why graphite is good conductor of electricity while diamond is not?
Graphite is a good conductor of electricity beacause graphite is sp-2 hybirdize orbit
