Chapter 13, Problem 15E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The main structural differences between graphite and diamond and how these structure differences affect the properties of each substance should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbon show unique properties, it forms very large number of molecules. Catenation is the property of atoms to link to the atom of the same element into the long chains, this property dominates in carbon atom. Due to which carbon forms very large number of compounds. Carbon can form many allotropes due to its unique property. Well known forms of carbon include diamond and graphite.
