Question

different between -- diamond and graphite​

Answer 1

Answer:

DIAMOND , GRAPHITE

1) It has a crystalline structure.

1) It has a layered structure.

2) It is made up of tetrahedral units.

2) It has a planar geometry.

3) In diamond, each carbon atom is sp3 hybridized and is bonded to four other carbon atoms through a sigma bond.

3) In graphite, each carbon atom is sp2 hybridized and is bonded to three other carbon atoms through a sigma bond while the fourth electron forms a Π-bond.

4) The C-C bond length in the diamond is 154pm.

4) The C-C bond length in the graphite is 141.5pm..

5) It has a rigid covalent bond network which is difficult to break.

5) It is quite soft and its layers can be separated easily.

6) It acts as an electric insulator.

6) It is a good conductor of electricity.
