Question

The crystalline forms of carbon, i.e., diamond and graphite are identical
in terms of:
-Reactivity
-Burning in air forming Co2
-Action of chemical reagents
-Structure​

Answer 1

Answer:

Diamond is hard due to strong covalent bonds present in it. In a Graphite, carbon atoms are bounded together in a flat layers by an strong covalent bonds in a regular haxagon. These layers are held together by much wealer van der Wall's forces, therefore the crystals of graphite soft and slippery.
