Explain the difference in properties of diamond and graphite on the basis of their structures.
Explain the difference in properties of diamond and graphite on the basis of their structures.

Solution:

Diamond:
1. It has a glasslike grid
2. In precious stone, every carbon molecule is sp3 hybridized and attached to four other carbon particles through a sigma bond.
3. It has an unbending covalent bond network which is hard to break.
4. The C-C bond length in jewel is 154 pm.
5. It goes about as an electric cover.
Graphite: 
1. It has a layered design
2. In graphite, every molecule is sp2 hybridized and is clung to three other carbon iotas through a sigma bond. The fourth electron frames a pi bond.
3. It is very delicate and its layers can be isolated without any problem.
4. The C-C bond length in graphite is 141.5 pm.
5. It is a decent conveyor of power.
