Watch this video to understand the different properties of diamond and graphite. The rigid network of carbon atoms, held together by strong covalent bonds, makes diamond very hard. This makes it ...

"This video explains why diamond and graphite have different properties depsite both being made of carbon. Diamond has a giant covalent structure with strong bonds, meaning that there are no free ...

Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...
