Both are pure carbon, but with different crystal structures (allotropes). Diamond forms a hyper-resistant three-dimensional $sp^3$ tetrahedral network, while graphite forms hexagonal $sp^2$ sheets joined by weak bonds.

¡Qué talento tiene la naturaleza para crear algo tan diferente con el mismo elemento! Este programa me tiene fascinado.
¡Es increíble cómo la estructura cristalina lo cambia todo! ¿Habrá más alótropos sorpresa en el próximo episodio?
