Graphite and diamond are both solid forms of the element carbon. Which statement explains
the different properties of these two forms of carbon?
(1) Diamond has ionic bonding and graphite has metallic bonding.
(2) Diamond has metallic bonding and graphite has ionic bonding.
(3) Diamond has a different crystal structure from graphite.
(4) Diamond has carbon atoms with more valence electrons than graphite.

Respuesta :

Answer: C diamond has a different crystal structure from graphite

Explanation:

The difference between the properties of  two forms of carbon is that

Diamond has a crystal structure  different from graphite.

Graphite and Diamond are known as allotropes of Carbon as they have the

same chemical properties but different crystal structure.

Diamonds form a 3 crystal lattice with no flexibility while Graphite are

bonded to sheets which makes them slide easily within one another and

gives it its soft texture.
