why do graphite& diamond look different since they are made of the sane carbon atom?

How can graphite and diamond be so different if they are both composed of pure 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. The differing properties of carbon and diamond arise from their distinct crystal structures.
Hope this will help you

thanks
butunder which circumstances they are difderent?
but under,sorry
the pattern of distribution of atoms is different
alright,but why do they differ since they form in the same atomsphere

hey friend here is your answer.....
hope it helps you....
graphite and diamond have same carbon atom but there the arrangement of atom are different......
if it helps you dear friend so please mark as brainliest....
thankyou!
have a nice day...

follow me guys
still have a doubt, how they are different under each circumstances
because they have different structures bro
but how
because they form covalent bond differently......you will learn how this happens in class 11
