Which solid phase that is, which allotrope of carbon is more stable, graphite or diamond? You should consult some of the tables in the thermodynamics section of this text.. Both solid phases exist under normal conditions of pressure and temperature. Explain why this is so, given that one solid phase is more thermodynamically stable than the other. Do their unit cells provide any suggestion for their relative stabilities?
