The structure of the carbon atoms make diamonds hard, the hardest natural mineral.
Their crystal habit is octahedral and their crystal system is isometric-hexoctahedral.
No, diamonds are not made from coal. While both coal and diamonds are made of carbon, the conditions required to create diamonds are much more intense and happen deep within the Earth's mantle. Coal forms through the decomposition of plant matter over millions of years.
Diamonds and gold are both valuable and precious materials often used in jewelry. Diamonds are made of carbon and are the hardest natural substance, while gold is a metal that is highly malleable and doesn't tarnish. They both have high value and are used as symbols of wealth and status.
Yes, lab-created diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds and are capable of cutting glass. They are similarly hard and durable due to their structure and composition.
A diamond can be crushed by a hard blow or impact, as diamonds are strong but not indestructible.
Chemists needed to create industrial diamonds for their exceptional hardness, durability, and thermal conductivity properties, making them valuable for cutting, grinding, and drilling tools in various industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing. Synthetic diamonds are also more cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to natural diamonds.
The turtles shell was hard as diamonds.
Yes, lab diamonds are just as hard as natural diamonds because they have the same chemical composition and crystal structure.
because they are so hard
Diamonds are so hard that they can only be cut by other diamonds. Diamonds are forever. (!) The bunt flew out of the diamond.
I don't think you can make entire drillbits out of it, bit you can make diamond tipped drillbits
this is as hard as a diamond.
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Diamonds, steel, and rocks are hard objects.
All diamonds are formed from carbon.
Diamonds are formed from carbon.
Diamonds are hard based on the matrix -- lattice structure -- of the carbon atoms that form the mineral.
Yes, lab-grown diamonds have the same hardness as natural diamonds because they are made of the same material, carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure.
