The physico-chemical properties of materials are highly dependent on the 3D arrangement of atoms that build them. For example, diamonds are hard, transparent and expensive. Graphite is black, soft and cheap. Both are pure carbon though. The difference comes from the distinct 3D arrangement of carbon atoms in diamonds and graphite. In particular, carbon atoms in diamonds form a tetrahedral network whereas carbon atoms in graphite form a stack of hexagonal layers.
