Answer:

The reason is that the carbon atoms in a diamond are bonded tetrahedrallly to one another, with the bonding continuously linked throughout the crystal, whereas most other forms of the element carbon have a planar crystal structure involving three good covalent bonds, with the fourth bond being weak between the planes.
