(a) They have the same crystal structure
(b) They have the same degree of hardness
(c) They have the same electrical conductivity
(d) They can undergo the same chemical reactions

Answer 1

Answer:

D) They can undergo the same chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Diamond and graphite are both made up of carbon and have same chemical properties as that of carbon and they both undergo same type of chemical reactions.

Answer 2

Graphite and diamond can undergo the same chemical reactions.

Explanation:

• Graphite forms in layers or sheets where the carbon atoms have strong bonds on the same plane or layer but only weak bonds to the layer above or below.
• On the other hand, the carbon atoms in diamond have strong bonds in three dimensions.
• In the case of graphite, only the bonds between the graphite layers are weak.
• The difference between diamond and graphite are:
• Diamond have giant covalent structure with each carbon covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement to form a rigid structure.
• Then graphite is also giant covalent structure with each carbon covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms in a hexagonal arrangement.
