Hi everybody, I'm not pretty sure if the reaction that forms diamond from
graphite is standard.It happens under high pressure and high
temperature ( 600-800) .
Standard?
Do you mean say Carbon can arrange itself in 4,000 different ways, but can it arrange itself in only 40 at extreme pressures and temperatues - on only one - diamond? I think the last is true!
