Diamond has tetrahedral structure (sp3- hybridization). Graphite has flat layer structure (sp2)

Q. Difference between diamond and graphite is due to:

the crystal structure in diamond is different from that in graphite

the atoms each have different masses

all of the above

Diamond has tetrahedral structure ( $s p^{3} -$ hybridization). Graphite has flat layer structure $(s p^{2})$
