No
Its different because of its bonding. In diamond one carbon has been bonded to four more carbon atoms.In graphite one carbon atom has been attached to three carbon atoms
By the difference of bonding every carbon atom has a unbonded electron in graphite. moving electrons change the chemical properties in graphite such as
graphite can be used as electrical or heat conductor

As both Graphite and diamond are the allotrope's of the same element Carbon, all their chemical properties are the same.Although they show different physical properties.

Both are crytalline allotropic forms of carbon,since carbon is present in different crystal forms having same chemical properties but different physical properties because they have different number of atoms and different arrangement.The diamond's molecular structure is much more durable than graphite.
when compressed for 1000's of years, graphite turns into a diamond

graphite and diamond have same chemical properties as bothof them are the allotropes of carbon and thats why they have same chemical properties and different physical properties.

Yes,the chemical properties of graphite and diamond r same .This is because both are allotropes of CARBON and allotropes are identical in their chemical properties but r physically different .

No. Because graphite is carbon in the form of loose hexagon planes, electrons can slide easily, making it a decent conductor of heat and electricity. However, in diamonds, the carbon atoms are so tightly bonded that electrons cannot move as freely, so it cannot conduct.

Yes, their chemical properties are the same, but their physical properties are different.

They are allotropes and so they have same chemical properties.But their physical properties are different.
