(e) Diamond is a good conductor of heat. (f) Graphite is diamagnetic in nature. (g) Graphite is thermodynamically more stable than diamond

Assertion : Among the carbon allotropes, diamond is an insulater, wherea, graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Reason : Hybridization of carbon in diamond and graphite are sp^3 and sp^2 , respectively.

Allotropes of carbon: There are three forms of carbon. i.e., diamond, graphite and fullerene which exxist in crystalline form. Graphite and diamond occur in nature. The structure of diamond is tetrahedral with sp^(3) hybridisation and diamond exist in 3-D netowrk solid. in graphite, carbon is sp^(2) hybridised. each carbon linked to other carbon linked to other carbon atom forms hexagonal ring. it has a layered structure. diamond and graphite are purest form of carbon.
