shape of grafite and diomand?
Answers
1. diamond ; The natural shape of a diamond can vary widely due to the “natural” nature of the crystal formation. Naturally diamonds can be round-ish jagged edged crystals or they can be “diamond” shaped like if you took two pyramids and put them so their bases were touching and a point was at both the top and the bottom.
Over the course of history the “diamond” shape we’ve come to be most familiar with is Round. However the cutting or “Faceting” techniques have changed just as our style of clothing has changed. Antique round diamonds were shaped with a facet pattern known as the old mine cut which eventually evolved into the rose cut. Today our standard round diamond is called the Round Brilliant cut which features 58 facets. The second most popular today would be the Princess cut which is square and features between 49 & 76 facets (depending on the diamond cutter) There are many other diamond shapes including the pear shape, emerald cut, oval, cushion, heart, radiant, marquise, asscher, trillion and baguette.
2. grafite ; Graphite is basically hexagonal rings of carbon and each carbon is sp2 hybridized. And all the hexagonal rings are linked together by weak van der waals force of attraction.Bonding between layers is via weak van der Waals bonds, which allows layers of graphite to be easily separated, or to slide past each other. The two known forms of graphite, alpha (hexagonal) and beta (rhombohedral), have very similar physical properties, except that the graphene layers stack slightly differently.
