Graphite is soften in nature because of its structure i.e. layers present in the graphite makes the graphite soften.

Ya dimond is called hard carbon cause carbon has strong bond all carbon molecules add to each other.

Diamond has covalent bond and very competitive structure and graphite has simple structure.

Gaurav said:   1 decade ago
Diamond is have crystalline form due to covalent bond that's why it is hard in nature.

The right one is Diamond hardest but softest is lamp black.

Between graphite&lamp black, which is softest and why?

Bibek gahatraj said:   8 years ago
Lamp back is softer than graphite. So answer is option D.

Muchiram tudu said:   1 decade ago
I think diamond is the hardest and lamp black is soften.

Srikant said:   1 decade ago
Diamond and graphite have different molecular structure.

Deepak said:   3 years ago
Lamp black is amorphous so it has no structure.
