What experiment would show that both diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon?

the diamond (the hardest mineral known to man) is made up of a tetrohydral shaped atom structure which is formed into a complex lattice arrangement in the element. Graphite by contrast is one of the weakest minerals known to man, because its atoms are bonded by very weak bonds in fragile layers/sheets above and below one another, but each layer is not bonded to the rest.
The carbon-carbon bonds in both minerals are actually quite strong, but it is the application of those bonds that make the difference.
The carbon atoms are arranged differently in diamonds and graphite. They are both carbon, but their internal structure is different. They are allotropes of carbon.

By burning them separately,,they will produce carbon 4 oxide
Wiki User
∙ 10y agobecause they have the same chemical property

∙ 14y agoEach allotrope of an element has different bonds between atoms compared to the oter allotropes. Carbon has 7 allotropes of which diamond is one - the atoms are in a tetrahedral lattice.

∙ 14y agoGraphite and diamonds are two allotropes of carbon. Both are pure carbon, but in a different crystal form.
Christabel Chizitere
it is because they are both crystalline and they have the same chemical properties

when burnt they both produce co2 gas
