Detailed Solution
In diamond each carbon atom is surrounded by four other carbon atoms. Unit cell of diamond contains 8 carbon atoms effectively.The co-ordination number of carbon in diamond is 4.It has F.C.C structure similar to ZnS.4 carbons occupy lattice sites while 4 carbons occupy alternate tetrahedral voids .Thus one unit cell of diamond has 8 carbon atoms.
