Both graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. graphite conducts electricity but why diamond do not

A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond. This is because covalent bonds are strong, and diamond contains very many covalent bonds. This makes diamond's melting point and boiling point very high. There are no free electrons or ions in diamond, so it does not conduct electricity.

So what you would do is go through and add 3 teaspoons(tsp) 6 times because of the 6 tablespoons(tbsp). which will give you an answer of 18. another way is to multiply 3x6=18.
