To find: The comparison of the properties between two types of allotropes of carbon.
Answer to Problem 12STP
The properties of the given allotropes of carbon is compared.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Allotrope is the physical form of the elment in which element can exist in nature. The allotropes of carbon are Graphite, charcoal and diamond.
The allotropes of carbon are Graphite, charcoal and diamond. The comparison of diamond and graphite are below :
S.no | Diamond | Graphite |
1. | It is extremly hard | Is is soft |
2. | High melting point | Less melting point |
3. | Bad conductor of electricity | Good conductor of electricity and heat |
4. | Good conductor of heat | Used as a dry lubricant |
5. | Bond length is 154 pm | Bond length is 141.5 pm |
6. | Tetrahedral geometry | Planer geometry |
Conclusion:
By this way, the properties of the given allotropes of carbon is compared.
