Coal is coal and diamond is diamond but coal is not a diamond?

Correct.Although they are based on the same element (carbon) they have vastly different structures and atomic arrangements, resulting in very different physical and chemical properties. Such forms are known chemically as allotropes.


Is a simulant diamond a real diamond?

No, a simulant diamond is not a real diamond. It is a material that mimics the appearance of a diamond but is not made of the same physical and chemical properties as a natural diamond.


If a person is allergic to coal will they be allergic to diamonds?

probably not because diamond is not the same als coal


Are coal and peat from the same material?

yes


Is graphite and diamond an element?

No, graphite and diamond are not elements. They are both forms of the element carbon. Carbon is the element, while graphite and diamond are allotropes, which are different forms of the same element with different physical and chemical properties.


Is mining coal a physical or chemical change?

Mining coal is a physical change because the act of extracting coal from the earth does not alter its chemical composition. The coal remains chemically the same before and after the mining process.


How is diamond and grphite the same?

They both have a chemical makeup of carbon.


Is breaking coal into pieces chemical or physical change?

Breaking coal into pieces is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the coal. The coal remains composed of the same elements before and after being broken into pieces.


Is the diamond and charcoal are of the same material?

Yes, both are formed from carbon.


How do caol and diamond differ?

Raw materials for coal and diamonds are the same. Buried dead plant material begins the process to coal. But the process for creating diamonds requires enormous pressures, so diamonds are formed at extreme depths (over 90 miles underground). Volcanos bring the diamonds to the surface or at least to depths where mining is practical. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond


How can diamond and graphite have different physical and chemical properties if they are made out of the same element?

Actually they have the same chemical properties so therefore they are allotropes of carbon


Is carbon the same as coal?

No, carbon and coal are not the same. Carbon is a chemical element that is found in many different forms, including coal, which is a solid fossil fuel formed from the remains of dead plants. Coal is a complex mixture of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements.
