In Diamonds, the atoms are so closely packed together, so it is a very hard substance.
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Diamond has a specific crystalline structure: face-centered cubic as diamond lattice.
- Diamond has a very strong covalent bonding between carbon atoms.

∙ 16y agoThe amount of pressure required to form a diamond is much greater than any other natural process involved in the making of any other compound. The molecules in a diamond are therefore closer together and the bonds between them much stronger than the bonds holding other substances together, thus they are harder.

∙ 12y agothe carbon atoms in a diamond are in crystal formation and are 'packed in' so closely and dense that the sub-atomic bond is incredibly strong. They just don't want to be pulled apart. that's why diamonds are so hard.

Why is diamond checked by magnifying glass?
Because sometimes it can flaw and be metals or hard plastic. In the diamond you can see little crystal air pockets and that makes sure they are real.
