what is a homologous series give any two difference in the properties of diamond and graphite
Answers
Answer:
The difference between diamond and carbon is given below.
Diamond Graphite
It has crystalline nature
It has layered structure
Each C is sp
3
hybridzed and forms 4 covalent bonds with neighboring C atoms.
Each C atom is sp
2
hybridized and forms 3 sigma bonds with 3 other C atoms. Fourth electron forms pi bond.
The geometry is tetrahedral.
The geometry is planar
C-C bond length is 154 pm
C-C bond length is 141.5 pm
It has rigid covalent boning which is difficult to break.
It is soft. Its layers can be separated easily.
It is an electrical insulator.
It is good conductor of electricity.

Answer:
The answer is:
Explanation:
In the field of organic chemistry, a homologous series is a sequence of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which the members of the series can be branched or unbranched.This can be the length of a carbon chain, for example in the straight-chained alkanes (paraffins), or it could be the number of monomers in a homopolymer such as amylose.
Difference:
Diamond Graphite
Diamond has a rigid structure Graphite has a layered structure that makes it a hard material. that makes it a soft material.
Its is not good conductor of Its good conductor of electricity.
