Question

Distance between two layers of carbon atoms in graphite

Answer 1

This is why graphite is used in pencil lead. The distance between layers is 0.335 nm. Carbon atoms in diamond are covalently bonded and are arranged in a three-dimensional tetrahedral structure. All bonds are of the same length, 0.154 nm.
