Diamond and graphite show different physical properties although they are made up of carbon and show the same chemical properties. What is this property called?
1 AnswersThe property you're referring to is called allotropy. Allotropy is the phenomenon where elements can exist in different structural forms, known as allotropes, while maintaining the same chemical composition. In the case of carbon, diamond and graphite are two different allotropes, with diamond having a rigid, three-dimensional crystal lattice structure, while graphite consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Despite these structural differences, both diamond and graphite are composed entirely of carbon atoms and exhibit the same chemical properties.
