Both diamond nd graphite are covalent (network solids) crystals but diamond has 3D rigid structure nd graphite has layer lattice structure.
In Diamond carbon atom is bonded to 4 other carbon atoms forming a rigid 3D structure.
In graphite each carbon atom is bonded to 3 other carbon atoms in same plane giving a hexagonal array.
Diamond is hard but graphite is soft.
Diamond is poor conductor of electricity but graphite is good conductor.
