It's a production of the element carbon, but it itself isn't an element. Some say its a mixture because other minerals other than carbon can influence a diamond's colour.
Diamond is a particular elemental compound composed of carbon.
Diamond is a particular elemental compound composed of carbon.
Diamond is an ELEMENT. It is NEITHER a compound NOR a mixture. Diamond is a molecule composed of only the atoms of carbon , in a very specific arrangement. In diamond, any one carbon atom is combined to four adjacent carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement (like methane). This tetrahedral arrangement tesselates to become a diamond ( that you can hold). This arramngement of carbon atoms is known as the 'Adamantine' structure. It is also one of the three ALLOTROPES of Carbon. The others being graphite and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene). NB Do NOT confuse the words 'Allotrope' with 'Isotope'. They have totally different meanings.
No, diamonds are pure diamond, not a mixture of anything.
Crystals can be elements (as diamond) or compounds (as sapphire).
Technically, diamond is neither an element, a compound, or a mixture. Diamond is made up of pure carbon atoms, so it is not a mixture, and a compound by definition requires two or more different elements. The best definition using the above terms is that diamond is a mineral made up of the same element.
Pure substance; it is one form of pure carbon.
Water is a compound
It is a mixture.

Is gasoline a element a mixture or a compound
Concrete is a mixture not a compound.
