The natural process that formed most diamonds requires that a "collection" of carbon is gradually placed under great pressure and substantial (but not too high) a heat, in the absence of oxygen, for many thousands of years. The site of their formation is within the upper mantle of the Earth, under the continental crust, and the resulting diamonds have ages between 1 and 3.3 billion years.
There are also diamonds formed almost instantaneously by asteroid or meteor impacts, or manmade diamonds formed using very high compression. These "nanorod aggregate diamonds" are harder than normal diamonds, the manmade ones even more so.
There are black diamonds called "carbonado" diamonds that may have formed within supernovas, or may have formed when the already concentrated carbon material impacted on Earth.
Pure substance; it is one form of pure carbon.
Diamond is not an element but a form of carbon, which is a nonmetallic element. Diamonds are made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, and they are prized for their hardness and brilliance.
Actually, carbon is the element: diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
Diamond is a form of carbon mineral that is classified as a type of metamorphic rock called Kimberlite. Diamond crystals are often found embedded within Kimberlite rock formations deep within the Earth's crust.
Graphite is the most thermodynamically stable (more than diamond).
Diamond is the diamond form of carbon
Pure substance; it is one form of pure carbon.
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal lattice structure.
Pure carbon refers to carbon in its elemental form, known as allotropes. Common examples include graphite, diamond, and fullerenes. These forms have unique properties due to the arrangement of carbon atoms.
Diamond is an allotrope of Carbon and is the hardest known form of Carbon.
carbon
it is an allotropic form of carbon.
No, diamond is a form of the pure element carbon.
Diamond is not an element but it is a compound of carbon. It is fully made of carbon atoms
Diamond is a chemically inert allotropic form of carbon, as its strong carbon-carbon bonds make it resistant to most chemical reactions. This stability is due to the tightly packed crystal lattice structure of carbon atoms in a diamond.
