Is diamond an element

Answer 1

No, a diamond ring is not an element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Diamond, on the other hand, is a form of carbon, which is an element. A diamond ring is a piece of jewelry that typically consists of a diamond or diamonds set in a metal ring, which is a combination of different elements such as gold, silver, or platinum.

Answer 2

YES and NO Diamond is a form of Carbon so the element is actually called CARBON not diamond.

Carbon atoms can link together in nature in a variety of ways (this is not unique, for instant Sulfur does similar things) to form solids that look remarkably different . The are called allotropes of carbon and there are a number of of them. Here are some of the most well known:-

• Diamond
• Graphite
• buckminsterfullerenes
• Graphene
• Amorphous carbon
• Glassy carbon
• Carbon nanofoam

Answer 3

When you mean pure, I assume you mean an element? Diamond is made of carbon with extrememly strong covalent bonds, so no, it is not an element, but a subtance. However, diamonds can be called pure substances, if you do not take into account the slight mixing within their lattice structures.

Answer 4

Carbon is the element; diamond is an allotrope of carbon.

Answer 5

A diamond ring is an object made up of metal and set with a diamond, which is composed of the element carbon.

Answer 6

No. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon, which is an element.

Answer 7

Diamond is a form of carbon.
