Gems Graphite

Science help! please help me?
Why are groups 14 and 15 better representatives of mixed groups then are group 13 or group 16?
and
Why is graphite a lubricant while a diamond is the hardest gem known?
please help! i am really confused!! 10 points and 5 stars to the best answer! thank u soooo much!!
Both diamond and graphite have a very simple chemical composition: they are both pure carbon. But whereas diamond is the hardest mineral known to man (10 on the Mohs scale), graphite is one of the softest (less than 1 on the Mohs scale). As a result, diamond is the ultimate abrasive whereas graphite is an excellent lubricant. Diamond is an electrical insulator while graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Diamond is usually transparent, while graphite is opaque
I don’t know what you mean by groups 14 and 15 or groups 13 or 16, sorry
