Why is diamond used for making cutting tools (like glass cutters) but graphite is not?

उत्तर
Diamond is the hardest, naturally occuring material known. Owing to its rigid structure, it can be used as glass cutters. Whereas graphite is a layered structure of carbon atoms and is very soft so, it cannot be used for making cutting tools.
