Answer:

Since they are both made of carbon their chemical properties are the same.

Most physical properties of a solid like hardness, melting point, conductivity of heat/electricity, etc. largely depend on it's crystal structure.

Graphite and diamond have very different structures.

Graphite has a layered sheet-like structure with each layer consisting of hexagonal rings, this is because all carbon atoms are sp2 hybridised.

Diamond has a tetrahedral structure since all carbon atoms are sp3 hybridised.

Kryger [21]

We consider the concentric zone model, which is the Gentrification of neighborhoods as certain classes start to take over cities.

The model does not show gentrification in the neighborhood as certain classes begin to take over the city. Critical theory is an approach to social philosophy that focuses on social and cultural reflection and criticism in order to clarify and challenge the structure of power.
