Best Answer

Diamonds and sugar are alike because they are both crystals. This means that their atoms are aligned in geometic patterns. Believe it or not, they are both able to shatter. Diamond is stronger because it has covalent bonds or double bonds (im not sure which) in almost every direction. Therefore, no matter what direction you try to cut a diamond, you will have to break many bonds and therefore be very difficult.
