The fact that is it large network of covalently bonded carbons make it extremely hard to melt in the first place. Secondly, diamond at high temperatures will not melt, rather it will prefer to burn, as characteristic of all carbon allotropes.
A diamond will burn or oxidize when exposed to a hot flame in the presence of oxygen, for example an oxygen torch with a temperature of 800 degrees C (1,472 degrees F), according to The Merck Index, a standard chemistry reference work.
What else can I help you with?
Is oxygen a molecule or an atom?
oxygen is an element on the Periodic Table of elements. This means that oxygen is an atom which could bond with another element covalently to form a molecule
What is an example of this general type of molecule that you could find at home?
An example of this general type of molecule that you could find at home is water, which is a polar molecule. Water consists of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one oxygen atom, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge and making it a polar molecule.
What is the smallest particle into which a covalently bonded compound be divided?
A molecule is the smallest particle that is the same compound. Obviously molecules can be broken down further into atoms and these in turn could be broken down into fundamental particles.
What is the smallest particle of a covalently bonded compound and still be the same substance?
i think the electron that it had shared,may b. it could an atom also.
Is mole the same as molecule?
A mole is defined as the amount of substances which contains Avagadro number of particles. A molecule is defined as the number of atoms contaned in it > For example , Oxgen molecule contains 2 atoms.
Is a molecule inorganic or organic?
could be either, depending on the molecule.
In an atom the number of what is equal to?
In an atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. That is, in the case of an un-ionized, non valence bonded molecule... If the atom were ionized, it could have fewer or less electrons. If the atom were part of a valence bonded molecule, it could be sharing valence electrons with other atoms.
What is the smallest part of a compound with all the properties of that compound?
A molecule
Is sodium hydroxide an alkene?
NO! These two chemicals could hardly be more different: Sodium hydroxide is an ionically bonded inorganic salt that contains no carbon, while alkenes are organic compounds that are covalently bonded, contain no sodium or oxygen, and include a carbon-carbon double bond.
Two or more chemically bonded atoms form a molecule because?
By definition -- that's how you define a molecule. Sort of like asking why are those things on my feet called socks? Because when we put cloth of our feet, we tend to call them socks. Could be a blanket, of course. Once you say "Chemically bonded" atoms, you are stuck with the name "molecule."
Is C2H5OH ionic or covalent bond?
C2H5OH, also known as ethanol, forms covalent bonds. It is a molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that share electrons in order to form stable bonds.
Is a molecule an element or compound?
A molecule can be either an element or a compound, depending on its composition. If a molecule consists of only one type of atom, it is an element. If a molecule is made up of two or more different types of atoms bonded together, it is a compound.
