Question

3. Explain the difference:-

a. Diamond and graphite.

b. Crystalline and non-crystalline forms of carbon.

Plz answer this !!​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Diamond is one of the hardest materials known, is transparent to light, and does not conduct electricity at all. Graphite is soft, gray, and can conduct electricity reasonably well. Such different properties, from two substances that are composed of exactly the same kinds of atoms!
2. Crystalline form of carbon is definite in molecular structure, but non-crystalline isn't. Molecules in non-crystalline form are arranged randomly without any fixed pattern or shape. This form is also called amorphous form of carbon. Diamond, Graphite, Fullerene, Buckyballs, Carbon Nanotubes, etc

Answer 2

$\huge\fbox\purple{♡Answer}$

a. Diamond and Graphite

• Diamond is one of the hardest materials known, is transparent to light, and does not conduct electricity at all.

• Graphite is soft, gray, and can conduct electricity reasonably well. Such different properties, from two substances that are composed of exactly the same kinds of atoms!

b. Crystalline and non-crystalline forms of carbon.

• Crystalline form of carbon is definite in molecular structure,

• but non-crystalline isn't. Molecules in non-crystalline form are arranged randomly without any fixed pattern or shape. This form is also called amorphous form of carbon. Diamond, Graphite, Fullerene, Buckyballs, Carbon Nanotubes, etc.
