B) The carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in widely spaced layers
Explanation:
Graphite is different from other allotropes of carbon because the carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in widely spaced layers. Graphite and diamond are the two main allotropes of carbon that are closely related.
Both allotropes forms under extreme temperature and pressure. In geology, they are categorized as derivatives of changed rocks.
Graphite is different from carbon because its atoms are arranged in widely spaced layers.
Diamond has a packed and cross-linked structure that makes it rigid and very hard.
