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 :)
