When "diamond "is heated at high temperature , graphite is formed.
When "graphite" is heated fullerene is formed.
Is that possible when graphite is cooled at very low temperature DIAMOND will be formed

Solution

1. No, graphite will not become diamond even if cooled at very low temperature.

2. This is because, the process of turning graphite to fullerene also requires very high pressure.

3. This pressure is never achieved using human techniques, thus we never obtain diamond on cooling graphite.
