Are minerals that have particles arranged in a diamond or crystal pattern?
Atoms within a mineral are arranged into an orderly geometric spatial arrangement known as crystal structure. There are 14 basic crystal lattices (refered to as the Bravais lattices) which fit into one of 7 crystal system (triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, hexagonal and cubic) and all observed minerals fit into one crystal lattice and one crystal system. Diamond on the other hand is an allotrope of carbon arranged into an isometric hexoctahedral (Cubic-type) crystal system.
What are examples of carbon arranged in a crystal lattice?
examples of NONPOLAR covalent molecular crystals: hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), methane (CH4),Macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (CCl4),Benzene (C6H6)examples of POLAR covalent molecular crystals: Ammonia (NH3), Water (H2O)
What is the regular arrangement of molecules for diamonds and rubies?
a salt crystal is cubic with positively charged sodium atoms having negatively charged chlorine atoms as their nearest neighbors and negatively charged chlorine atoms having positively charged sodium atoms as their nearest neighbors. these atoms are not actually bonded but only electrostatically attracted by their opposite charges. this makes for a weak brittle crystal that easily shatters.a diamond crystal is tetrahedral with very strong covalent bonds between every carbon atom. this makes for a very strong hard crystal.
What is a druce crystal?

Is diamond a stone or a crystal?
Crystal
How can you tell if a crystal is a diamond?
Take your crystal to a local jeweler who can use a probe to help you determine whether or not your crystal is a diamond.
Can crystal cut glass?
Diamond is a crystal. Yes.
Is quartz diamond crystal the same as diamond settings in wedding rings?
Quartz diamond crystal, commonly known as Herkirmer diamond, is not the same as diamond. A Herkimer diamond can be set in a wedding ring.
Is a diamond a clear crystal?
No, a diamond is clear carbon.
Can crystal cut through glass?
Diamond is a crystal. Yes.
Is a crystal color stone a diamond?
Your local jeweler can help you determine whether or not the crystal coloured stone you have is a diamond or not.
What is the difference between a quartz crystal and a diamond crystal?
There are several differences, the primary one being that on the Mohs hardness scale, diamond is 10, quartz is 8. Quartz crystal is very hard, but diamond is harder.
Is a blue diamond worth more than a blue crystal?
Yes. Any diamond is worth more than a crystal.
Can you make a crystal diamond?
yes..
