no! of course not! diamond is the strongest material in the world. how do we cut diamond's? The only this strong enough is a diamond blade.
any element will be stronger than diamond because an element is a single atom. deformation of an atom will take much more force than demolishing a diamond. Perhaps the right question would be: which compound is 51 % stronger than diamond? The answer to this question might be Lonsdaleite, practical proof still has to be obtained because all tested crystals were impure, only a simulation has been made so far of a pure sample (calculated at 58% harder).
In almost all cases, ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds. Although there are exceptions such as diamond and graphite.
amazonite is a greenish feldspar its green from copper impurities diamond is pure carbon 10 on the mohs scale hardest, toughest,strongest natural material known.
It is because of the fact that diamond has stronger covalent bond between C-C atoms and it requires large amount of energy to break the bonds.
Diamond is harder than onyx.
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
No, diamond is stronger than emerald. Rank of hardness Emerald: 8 Diamond: 10
The only thing stronger than diamond is laser, only laser and diamond can cut itself.
No, diamond is MUCH harder.
no
both have the same consistancy but if you look at the cenebral cortex the diamond is stronger but if you look at the color gold is stronger Diamond is the hardest element on earth.
No, diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
Wurtzite Boron Nitride (w-BN) is a bit harder and stronger than diamonds. However, lonsdaleite (also called Hexagonal Diamond) is 58% harder than a diamond!
Yes.
Yes
The Onyx looks nicer but diamond is more durable.
