Difference between diamond and graphite

Answer»

HEY !!

DIAMOND

  • Diamond is very hard.
  • It has high density.
  • It is a bad CONDUCTOR of electricity but good conductor of heat than graphite.
  • It possesses THREE dimensional net work structure.
  • Chemical reactivity is low.
  • Carbon undergoes sp³ hybridisation.
  • C--C bond length is 154 pm.

GRAPHITE

  • Graphite is soft.
  • It has relatively low density.
  • It is good conductor of heat and electricity.
  • It possesses a sheet TYPE structure.
  • Chemical reactivity is high.
  • Carbon undergoes sp² hybridisation.
  • C--C bond length 142 pm.

GOOD LUCK !!
