HEY BUDDY HERE IS UR ANSWER !!!

》Diamond is hard, as each carbon atom forms four strong bonds.

》 Since all four electrons are involved in bonding,diamond has no free electrons and does not conduct electricity.

》Graphite and diamond are composed of carbon atoms but their structures are different, hence, these solids are allotropes.
