Carbon is one of the ninety elements found in nature. However, together with hydrogen, itis a special element found in the structure of all living things. Graphite is one of the three mainallotropic forms of carbon, formed in horizontal layers and is a carbon-based material with awide range of uses. Diamond, graphite, graphene and fullerenes are the allotrope of the carbonatom. Both diamond and graphite are crystalline structures, but their crystals come in differentshapes.C (Graphite)C (Diamond)|Carbon materials formDensity (g mLVm (mL mol-1)C (Graphite)2,255,33C (Diamond)3,513,42 a) For diamond and graphite carbonnanomaterials, which are two allotropes of carbon, wouldincreasing the pressure be beneficial in converting graphite to diamond form?
