Question

3. Explain the difference:
a. Diamond and graphite.
b. Crystalline and non-crystalline
forms of carbon.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Diamond and graphite:-

Diamond and Graphite, both are known as the allotropes of carbon. ... In these allotropes of carbon, the atoms consisting of carbon atoms in that of the Diamond and Graphite, are bound together by strong covalent bonds with different arrangements.

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

Answer 2

Answer:

Crystalline form of carbon:-

1. A crystalline form of carbon has a regular and definite arrangement of atoms.
2. In crystalline form, carbon is an extremely hard material.

Non-crystalline form of carbon:-

1. In non-crystalline form of carbon, the arrangement of carbon, the arrangement of carbon atoms is not regular.
2. In non-crystalline form carbon is brittle.
