different between stucture of diamond and graphite
Answers
graphite sp2
diamond is the hardest substance
grpahite is loosley packed
hello ! here is your answer....
Molecular structure:
✨Diamond: Giant covalent structure, with each carbon covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement to form a rigid structure.
❤Graphite: It is also Giant covalent structure, with each carbon covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms in a hexagonal arrangement.
Hardness:
✨Diamond: Extremely hard. Due to rigid, tetrahedral arrangement of carbon atoms.
❤Graphite: Soft. Layers of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms can slide over one another.
look :
✨diamond :Cоlоurlеѕѕ trаnѕраrеnt ѕubѕtаnсе with extra оrdinаrу brilliаnсе due tо itѕ high refractive indеx.
❤graphite :It's a grеуiѕh black, ораԛuе substance..
weight :
✨diamond :It'ѕ quite heavy.
❤ graphite :It'ѕ lighter thаn diаmоnd, feels ѕоft and ѕliрреrу tо tоuсh.
hope it helped :)
