Both Diamond and Graphite are a crystalline form of carbon (Both are made of pure carbon). However they are the same in the chemical composition, they differ a lot in the physical composition. On the Moh’s scale, Diamond ranks as 10 making it the hardest mineral as compared to Graphite, which is the softest. Thus, based on the physical properties, they are used for different purposes.
Also, due to the rarity, a Diamond is much more expensive than Graphite.
Even though they are made of the same element (Carbon), a Diamond differs from Graphite in the atomic structure. In Diamonds, the atoms are closely packed with together with each atom connected to other carbon atoms as compared to Graphite where the bonds between the layers are weak. This is the reason why Diamonds have a very strong and rigid structure.
hope it help u....
