Michael’s teacher showed him a sample of charcoal dust and a diamond, as seen in the table below. He was very surprised when she told him both substances were made up of carbon. Why do these two forms of carbon look so different?

They are isotopes of each other ,meaning they are made of chemically the same substance but the number of neutrons is different.

Explanation:

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
