Q. Which of the following statements about the chemical nature of Diamond and Graphite is incorrect?
Answer: Both Diamond and Graphite are excellent conductors of electricity
Notes: Diamond and graphite are both forms of carbon but they exhibit different properties due to variations in their bonding arrangements. Diamond does not conduct electricity as each carbon atom in diamond is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms, leaving no free electrons to conduct electricity. On the other hand, graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to its layered structure which leaves free electrons between the layers.
