silicon dioxide is a compound and diamond is an element
Diamond is a tetrahedral network made of carbon atoms; sand is made of silicon dioxide.
They are the same substance.
the difference between carbon and carbon dioxide is carbon is just carbon
Yes. Silica is a compound with the formula SiO2, while silicon is an element with symbol Si. There are many chemical and physical differences between them.
The differences between a diamond and a cubic zirconia necklaces are the differences in the precious rocks used. What makes the difference in the necklace are the properties of the diamond and a cubic zirconia. The diamonds is stiffer and lighter and obviously more expensive.
Quartz is silicon dioxide (sand). Diamond is an allotropic form of carbon.
Diamond is a tetrahedral network made of carbon atoms; sand is made of silicon dioxide.
No, silicon dioxide is a compound. There terms metal and nonmetal are used to describe elements.
The chemical formula of silicon dioxide is SiO2. The atomic ratio oxygen/silicon is 2.
They are the same substance.
Silicon dioxide is not like carbon dioxide ( forms double bond with oxygen); this is expalined because it's energetically unfavourable for silicon dioxide to form double bond. 2p and 3p overlap b/w silicon and oxygen is not energetically favorable, so instead silicon binds covalent with 4 oxygen atoms( single bond) and forming a crystalline solid shape.
there's a clear difference, genuine diamond is genuine n diamond is not

Calcite is the opaque compound calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It will dissolve in carbonic acid and will fizz in stronger acids. Quartz is the usually transparent compound silicon dioxide (SiO2). It will not dissolve in acid.
There are many differences between quartz and diamond. Primarily, quartz is much softer than diamond. Damond's hardness measurement of 10 -- on the Mohs scale -- is the highest hardness level. Quartz Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, Mozambique; Colors Found: Various; Family: Quartz Hardness: 7.00; Refractive Index: 1.50; Relative Density: 2.60 - 2.70 Diamond Locations: all continents except Europe and Antarctica; Colors Found: Various; Family: Carbon Hardness: 10.00; Refractive Index: 2.41; Relative Density: 3.50 Quartz and diamond have different chemical compositions: diamond is pure carbon, quartz is silicon dioxide.
