In simpler words: diamond’s hardness comes from how its carbon atoms are arranged. Unlike graphite, where carbon atoms are arranged in layers that can slide, diamond’s atoms are tightly locked together in all directions. That’s why graphite feels soft (like pencil lead) while diamond can cut through glass and metal.
