Answer:

The properties of Diamonds and Graphite are somewhat alike because both come from the same element (Carbon) but also really different. They are chemically identical but very different physically, which is why they are called polymorphous. Some differences that Diamonds and Graphite have are that Diamonds are very hard whereas Graphite is very soft and easy to break. Also, Diamond’s density is greater than that of Graphite. Graphite is surprisingly a good conductor but Diamond is not, which doesn’t make a lot of sense since both are made of the same element. Also, the physical appearance of a Diamond is bright and shiny whereas Graphite is dark and dull. As you can see, these two elements have very different properties but a similar property that they have is that both Diamonds and Graphite have a high melting point.
