Diamond mineral is rated on the Mohs Scale at 10, which is the highest/ hardest rating on the scale. It is the only mineral given that rating. the Mohs Scale is most useful as a field guide, where a geologist might use one mineral to mark another. This means that diamond can mark every other natural mineral.
The Mohs scale is not useful for industrial or man-made materials.
If it can be proven, it is a fact. If it cannot be proven, it is theory or opinion. You can prove that diamonds are harder than anything else, so it's a fact.
Fact
yes.
diamond
Yes it is. They are essentially compressed carbon; when the carbon is at a very high temperature and under very high pressure, the bonds are formed. Natural diamonds are made 180km below the earth’s surface. The temperatures at this depth are between 1100o c and 1400o c. Diamonds rank 10 (the highest) on the Mohs scale, range from transparent to opaque and is not affected by any chemicals.
You can find the answer to this question when you discover the answer to the other rhetorical questions, such as why is air clear and why is rain wet? Directly, because no other natural mineral has yet been discovered that is harder than diamond.
Fact
Diamonds.
This is a fact. It can be verified by way of experimentation, and is true regardless of what anyone believes or disbelieves.
It is the hardest NATURAL substance- due to the arrangement of the carbon atoms that make up a diamond. (Thee ARE harder materials, but they are manmade.)
Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth.Aggregated Diamond Nanorod are the hardest overall and un-naturally occuring substance on Earth. They are actually a group of tiny diamonds which are virtually un-compressable.Hope this helped!
Diamonds are the hardest mineral on earth.
Same as others-just improved longevity since diamonds are hardest substance on Earth.
yes.
Diamond is the hardest natural mineral and about 80% of all diamonds mined are used by industry to enhance sharpness, focus and usefulness of tools. The remaining 20% are used as gem stones.
Gold is very soft, almost useless for most engineering purposes. Diamond OTOH is the hardest substance known to man.
Diamond is the hardest mineral known.
Yes, diamonds are the hardest natural mineral on earth.
