Solution

Dear student!
In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in sp³ hybridization with tetrahedral geometry so that the atoms are placed in all the three dimensional network of the tetrahedron and so it is said that the atoms of same element carbon lies in all the three planes i.e. different planes.
