(2) the same crystal structure and different properties
(3) different crystal structure and same properties
(4) different crystal structure and different properties

Answer 1

The answer is (4). The crystal structure of diamond is a strong network of atoms. And structure of graphite is organized in layers. Due to the different crystal structure, they have the different properties.
