9. Diamond – Each carbon is attached to 4 other carbons in a giant covalent structure. This means it has a high melting point, is very hard and insoluble in water. Graphite – Each carbon is attached to 3 other carbons. These make hexagons that are in layers. The layers can slide on each other making graphite soft and slippery. There are delocalised electrons between the layers which means that graphite will conduct electricity, but only in one direction.
