Abstract: Carbon atoms form very strong bonds to each other yielding solid crystalline materials like graphite and diamond. Because of the high bonding energies, the vaporization and melting temperatures are very high. Different kinds of atom-to-atom bonding make many solid forms possible, ranging from pure graphite to pure diamond, as well as many types of molecules in liquid or gaseous carbon. Rigorous conditions of high temperature, high pressure, or both, are required to change a given elemental phase of carbon to another.
