Answer:
Diamond is very hard due to the strong covalent bonds and rigid tetrahedral 3d arrangement. ... It has a high melting point and boiling point as much energy is needed to break the many strong covalent bonds. In graphite there are hexagonal layers of carbon atoms, each connected by covalent bonds.
