Is a diamond a mixture or compound?

Answer 1

neither, its a mineral it is a mixture because when going through the process of making the diamond you have to add extra materials . i am only in 6 th so i am sorry if this is incorrect .

Answer 2

A diamond is neither a compound nor a mixture. Since both mixture and compounds are made up of two or more elements. Whereas diamond is made up of just one element - Carbon.

Diamond is a specific allotrope (form) of the element carbon.

It is a covalent network solid, but it is made of atoms of all the same element, carbon.

Answer 3

Neither, Diamond is the crystalline allotrope of element carbon. "C" and interestingly enough so is carbon rod and graphite are the carbon atoms which are bound in different configurations to give it them different properties which is known as allotrophy.

Answer 4

neither, its a mineral it is a mixture because when going through the process of making the diamond you have to add extra materials . i am only in 6 th so i am sorry if this is incorrect .

Answer 5

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.
