Hi guys!
Graphite and diamond have different structure thats why they are totally different in properties even though both contain C atoms only.
Diamond has all its C atoms bonded and a rigid structure while graphite has a loosely bound C atom which makes it conduct electricity as this loosely bound C atom has free electrons to carry current.
Moreover graphite has a hexagonal strucutre forming layers on top of the other which makes it a good lubricant.
