Theoretically predicted phase diagram of carbon, from 1989. Newer work indicates that the melting point of diamond (top-right curve) does not go above about 9000 K. [19] The allotropes of carbon include graphite, one of the softest known substances, and diamond, the hardest naturally occurring substance.

Tantalum carbides (TaC) form a family of binary chemical compounds of tantalum and carbon with the empirical formula TaC x, where x usually varies between 0.4 and 1. They are extremely hard , brittle, refractory ceramic materials with metallic electrical conductivity .
Theoretically predicted phase diagram of carbon. The equilibrium pressure and temperature conditions for a transition between graphite and diamond is well established theoretically and experimentally. The pressure changes linearly between 1.7 GPa at 0 K and 12 GPa at 5000 K (the diamond/graphite/liquid triple point).

Theoretically predicted phase diagram of carbon. The equilibrium pressure and temperature conditions for a transition between graphite and diamond are well established theoretically and experimentally. The equilibrium pressure varies linearly with temperature, between 1.7 GPa at 0 K and 12 GPa at 5000 K (the diamond/graphite/liquid triple point).
Graphite's specific gravity is 2.3, which makes it less dense than diamond. Graphite is slightly more reactive than diamond. This is because the reactants are able to penetrate between the hexagonal layers of carbon atoms in graphite. It is unaffected by ordinary solvents, dilute acids, or fused alkalis.
