What else can I help you with?
What element can be formed as a diamond?
Carbon
What element is formed into diamond under extreme heat and pressure?
The element is carbon.
An organic element that forms a diamond?
Diamonds are formed from carbon.
Is diamond heterogenous?
No, diamonds is formed entirely of carbon: a single element.
What element do diamond and graphite have in common?
They are both formed of the element carbon.
What type of substance is a diamond?
diamond is formed from carbon. Some diamonds include other trace minerals, but they are not necessary in the formation of diamond.
Which valuable gemstone contains just one element?
Probably the diamond, which is pure Carbon. I don't know offhand if its the only single element gemstone.
Is a diamond crystal a compound or element?
No, diamond is a form of the pure element carbon.
Is it true that diamond is an element?
YES!!! Because it is a specific arrangement of the atoms of carbon and NO other element. Chemically it is referred to as an ALLOTROPE. The different physical arrangement of the atoms of an element. NB Do NOT confuse the words 'Allotrope' with 'Isotope' . They have totally different meanings.
Is a diamond considered an element?
Diamond is an ALLOTROPE of the element Carbon. The different physical forms of an element are named ALLOTROPES. Do NOT confuse with isotopes. Carbon is an element, and has three allotropes viz., Graphite Diamond Buckminster Fullerene (footballene). Graphite is carbon atoms combined to three other carbon atoms, and arranged in sheets of hexagons, with a 'loose' electron allowing it to conduct electricity . Diamond is a carbon atom combined to four other carbon atom in a tetrahedral arrangement. There are no 'loose' electrons , so diamond does NOT conduct electricity. It is the hardest known natural substance, because of the atomic arrangement. Buckminster Fullerene (Footballene) is an arrangement of 60(sixty) carbon atoms in a sphere consisting of hexagonal and pentagonal panels, just like a football, hence its nicknname. It is thought that it might be a superconductor. This is because between alternate carbon atoms there are double and single bonds, allowing electrons to move with in the molecule. Diamond
Is diamond an element?
No, diamond is not an element. It is a form of carbon, which is an element on the periodic table.
What element is diamond composed of?
Diamond is composed of the element carbon. It is an ALLOTROPE of carbon . An ALLOTROPE is a specific arrangement of the atoms on an element,thereby giving it its own physical characteristics. In diamind any one carbon atom is combined to four adjacent carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement ( like methane). This arrangement tesselates to form a diamond , that you can hold. The other allotropes of carbon being graphite and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene). NB Do NOT confuse the words 'Allotrope' with 'Isotope'. Within chemistry they have totally different meanings.
