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.
Why diamond is an element?
Actually, carbon is the element: diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
Is a diamond a compound or an element?
Diamond is not an element but it is a compound of carbon. It is fully made of carbon atoms
Is diamond an element compound or mixture?
Diamond is an ELEMENT. It is NEITHER a compound NOR a mixture. Diamond is a molecule composed of only the atoms of carbon , in a very specific arrangement. In diamond, any one carbon atom is combined to four adjacent carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement (like methane). This tetrahedral arrangement tesselates to become a diamond ( that you can hold). This arramngement of carbon atoms is known as the 'Adamantine' structure. It is also one of the three ALLOTROPES of Carbon. The others being graphite and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene). NB Do NOT confuse the words 'Allotrope' with 'Isotope'. They have totally different meanings.
What element is composed of diamond?
You misunderstand. The question should read 'From which element is diamond formed'. The answerr is 'Carbon'. Diamond is an ALLOTROPE of carbon . An allotrope of an element is where it displays different physical characteristics. In the case of diamond, any one carbon atom is combined to four adjacent carbon atoms, in a tetrahedral arrangement (like methane). This tetrahedral arrangement of carbon atoms tesselates to form the 'adamantine' structure, which becomes so large that it forms the mineral 'diamond', which you can hold. The other allotropes of carbon are graphite and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene). NB Do NOT confuse the words 'Allotrope' with 'Isotope', they have two different menaings.
What are diamond elements?
A diamond is absolutely beautiful, even when in the raw. It is a native Element, and the Element that makes up a mineral diamond is carbon.
Is a diamond crystal a compound or element?
No, diamond is a form of the pure element carbon.
What is the sole element in dimond?

What element is in a diamond?
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal lattice structure.
