Answer 1

Answer:

plz mark me as brainlist ✌️☺️☺️☺️

Explanation:

Diamond atoms have a rigid three dimensional structure with each atom closely packed together and connected to four other carbon atoms. ... But, in graphite, each carbon atom shares electrons with 3 other carbon atoms, whereas in diamond, each carbon atom shares electrons with 4 other carbon atoms.

Answer 2

Answer :

Differences between graphite and diamond -

• Diamond :

1. 3 D network structure.
2. Hardest natural substance.
3. Bad conductor of electricity.
4. Good conductor of heat.
5. Transparent substance.
6. High refractive index.
7. Chemically unreactive.

• Graphite :

1. 2 D network structure.
2. Soft and greasy.
3. Used as lubricant.
4. Good conductor of heat.
5. Good conductor of electricity.
6. Opaque.
7. Greyish Black substance.
8. Chemically reactive.

Diamond and Graphite are both allotropic forms of Carbon.

Fullerenes is also a allotrope of Carbon.

• It is spheroidal in shape.
• It contains even number of carbon atoms.
• The number of carbon ranges from 60 to 350.
• C60 is the most stable one.
• They are solid at room temperature.
• They are very small molecules.
• They are neither hard nor soft.
