Answer:

structural arrangements

_______________________________________

properties of daimond:

appearance: transparent

hardness: very hard

thermal conductivity :very poor

electric conductivity: poor

density:


3510 {kgm}^(3)

uses: jewellery and drilling

_______________________________________

properties of graphite:

appearance: black shiny

hardness: soft ,slippery to touch

thermal conductivity : moderate

electric conductivity: good

density:


2250 {kgm}^(3)

uses:dry cell, electric arc, pencil lead, lubricant

_______________________________________

How Diamond and Graphite are chemically identical?

  • On heating diamond or graphite in the air, they burn completely to form carbon dioxide.
  • - Equal quantities of diamond and graphite when burned, produce exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide.

_______________________________________

Why the physical properties of diamond and graphite are so different?

Due to the difference in the arrangement of carbon atoms in diamond and graphite
