Entropy of diamond is less than that of ...

Entropy of diamond is less than that of graphite.What conclusion do you draw from this ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Less entropy of diamond meansless disorder,i.e., allthe C-atoms are linked to form a network structure. Greater entropy of graphite implies some disorder which is due to presence of free electrons and slipping of layers over each other.
