diamond
Diamonds.
The hardest element is chromium, which is in group 6.
The hardest element is chromium, which is in group 6.
Diamond is the hardest material known to man. Diamond is a form of carbon which has been compacted and gained a crystalline form due to intense pressure in the earth's crust. Therefore, carbon can be the hardest element.
It is a crystalline allotropic modification of carbon. Diamonds are hardest element known and is chemically very inert.
The hardest mineral is diamond, and the softest mineral is talc.
No. The heaviest naturally-occurring element is uranium (atomic number 92, atomic weight 238.0289). While the substance with the highest density is either element iridium or the element osmium.
The sole element in a diamond is carbon. Diamond is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, making it one of the hardest known natural materials.
Hardness, as measured on the Mohs scale, *is* related to the element in question but a large part of what causes a substance to be "hard" or not is dependent on how the atoms are bound together and the circumstances of the environment. The hardest naturally occurring substance on earth is diamond, which is composed of Carbon on the periodic table. Some man-made ceramics are harder, but these are composite materials with more than one element.
