Why is diamond different from graphite?
Both have Giant Covalent Structures, resulting in very high melting temperatures. However each carbon atom in Diamond has 4 covalent bonds with other Carbons, making it extremely strong and hard. On the other hand, each carbon in graphite is bonded to three carbons, and therefore graphite is formed in layers.
Is graphite good for fishing rods?
Graphite, also called carbon fiber, is lighter than fiberglass, but its excellent sensitivity is the main reason it’s used for fishing rods. But while graphite is immensely strong under a steady load, it’s also brittle. A sudden shock, like a big striking fish, could cause fractures.
