Option 4 : They can undergo the same chemical reaction.
The correct option is
EXPLANATION:
- Diamond and graphite are the two allotropes of carbon.
- Diamond is having high melting and boiling point is true. Also, it is one of the hardest known substances.
- carbon atoms in diamonds have a strong bond in three dimensions.
- Graphite is a good conductor of electricity but it is soft as non-metal, So, graphite is not hard.
- Graphite is soft as compared to a diamond and The soft slippery nature and high resistance to heat make graphite useful.
- In graphite, each atom of carbon is surrounded by three other carbon atoms by single bonds, thereby forming a layer of hexagonal structures while diamond has a tetrahedral arrangement.
- Both Graphite and diamond being the allotropes of the same element, carbon, have similar chemical properties. So they undergo the same chemical reactions.
