What is the key difference between the carbon atoms in diamond and graphite?
Diamond atoms are bonded in a rigid three-dimensional structure, while graphite atoms are bonded in a hexagonal array in layers.
What type of bond is present in the structure of graphite?
Graphite contains a double-bond and single bonds between carbon atoms.
How are the carbon atoms arranged in the structure of diamond?
Each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms, forming a rigid three-dimensional structure.
