Answer:
The difference in properties of diamond and graphite on the basis of their structures is listed below.
Diamond | Graphite |
In diamond, strong three-dimensional networks are formed due to the presence of covalent bonds. | Graphites are formed due to the weak van der Waals force of attraction. |
Hard in nature | Soft in nature. |
Since molecules are closely packed they have high density. | Because of the large gap between the molecules, they have low density. |
Since there is no free carbon atom, the diamond does not conduct electricity. | Because of the presence of free carbon atom in graphite they can conduct electricity. |
