Graphite
1.Graphite is one
the softest
2. Graphite is black
and opaque
3. Crystallizes in the
hexagonal structure
4. Is a good conductor
of heat and electricity due to the free movement of electrons
5. Translates to writes
Diamond
1.Diamond is the
hardest natural
substance
2. Diamond is clear
and transparent
3. Crystallizes in the
cubic system
4. Is not a conductor of heat and electricity due to the restriction of electrons
5. Translates to unbreakable
6. A very good insulator.
1. Both graphite and diamond are made up entirely of carbon
2. Both have covalent bonding
3. Both have very high melting points
