Question

general properties of diamond and graphite.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge\bigstar\:$$\Huge\tt\underline\blue{ANSWER:-}$

• Diamond and Graphite, both are known as the allotropes of carbon. These minerals chemically consist of carbon atoms with different physical properties. These minerals, in general, are known to be as polymorphs, having the same type of chemistry, but of the various crystalline structures.

• In these allotropes of carbon, the atoms consisting of carbon atoms in that of the Diamond and Graphite, are bound together by strong covalent bonds with different arrangements.

• Precious stone and graphite have shift structures which represent their diverse properties, and both are pure carbon. However, the graphite’s particles join to the three atoms of carbon and get associated with the plates that are parallel to each other. The particles of Diamond enter the four atoms of carbon in a gem frame.

Answer 2

${\bold{\blue{\underline{\red{A}\pink{ns}\green{we}\purple{r:-}}}}}$

➝ Diamond is a colourless or transparent substance having extraordinary brilliance.

➝ Graphite is a greyish black opaque substance.It conduct electricity.

➝ Diamond is the hardest natural substance.It does not conduct electricity.

➝ Graphite is soft and slippery to touch.

➝ Both diamond and graphite are made up of carbon atoms only,it's symbol is taken to be C.

◪ The difference in the physical properties of diamond and graphite arises because of the difference arrangements of carbon atoms in them.

Structure of diamond and graphite,

◪ The diamond crystal is a giant molecule or very big molecule of carbon atom.

◪ The structure of graphite is very different from diamond.A graphite crystal consist of layer of carbon atoms.

◪ The rigid substance of diamond makes it a very hard substance.
