Carbon is the element with atomic number 6. The specific characteristics depend on which allotrope we are considering as carbon as an element exists in different forms, such as diamond and graphite. Diamond is very hard while graphite is slippery. These are due to their different structures which give them unique properties than can be applied in practice and industry. For instance, diamond can be used in the tip of cutting machines due to its hardness and graphite can be made its lubricant due to how its layers of carbon atoms can slide over each other.

Do silicon and carbon share some similar characteristics?
yes
What is the melting point of diamond in extreme pressure?
That really depends on the exact pressure. Look at the Wikipedia article "Carbon#Characteristics" (article "Carbon" section "Characteristics"). Especially, take a look at the phase diagram.
What are some physical and chemical characteristics of tin carbon?
Physical: carbon is a non-metal and tin is a metal (both are solids at 25 Celsius) Chemical: carbon and tin both have 4 valence electrons.
Why is diamond element?
Because it is an allotrope of carbon. Carbon is an element , and appears in the periodic table. Othe allotropes of carbon are graphite and buckminster fullerene(footballene). An allotrope of an element is that element appearing in differenc physical characteristics.
