Absorption spectra from distant galaxies consist of bands of coloured light crossed with black lines. The wavelengths of these black lines are shifted towards the red end of the spectrum when compared wit...

Both of these compounds are made purely of carbon. The differences come in the way in which the atoms are bonded together and the properties that this creates.In diamond, each atom is covalently bonded to...
