 a. The carbon atoms in graphite form strong bonds along two-dimensional sheets but attach weakly between sheets.
  b. The carbon atoms in graphite are a different form of carbon from that in diamond.
  c. The surfaces of diamonds are treated to make them strong.
  d. The carbon atoms in graphite are not arranged in a regular repeating pattern, so that it is not a crystal while diamond is.
  e. Each carbon atom in graphite is only weakly attached to each of its neighboring carbons.
