Question

The element ________ is found in both diamond and graphite​

Answer 1

Answer:

The element carbon is found in both diamond and graphite

Answer 2

Answer:

carbon

Both diamond and graphite are made entirely out of carbon, as is the more recently discovered buckminsterfullerene (a discrete soccer-ball-shaped molecule containing carbon 60 atoms). The way the carbon atoms are arranged in space, however, is different for the three materials, making them allotropes of carbon.
