Only carbon can turn into a diamond. In addition to the occurrence of the mineral, in order to form a diamond, enormous pressure and intense heat are also required.
This combination of natural elements occurs deep within the earth's mantle.
The name of the material you seek is carbon. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle under extreme high pressure and high heat from carbon.
Diamond is the second hardest material found in nature. It was always thought to be the hardest, but scientists have recently discovered a material called Ionsdaleite which is 58% harder than Diamond.
Diamond. a very hard material that is the hardest substance ever, or at least discover to be the hardest substance on EARTH THAT IS
Diamond
Yes, the properties of diamond are a direct result of its strong covalent bonding. The tetrahedral arrangement of carbon atoms in diamond creates a rigid and strong structure, making diamond the hardest naturally occurring material. This bonding also contributes to diamond's high melting point and exceptional thermal conductivity.
Diamond by nature is the hardest material, therefore Diamond bits are the "hardest." They are only for ceramics though, for drilling in metal, you would use a cobalt, or carbide drill bit.
Diamond has an extremely strong covalent bonding between carbon atoms; today diamond is not considered the hardest material, Today the hardest material is Aggregated diamond nanorods.
That would be coal. --------------------------------- The correct answer is Carbon - Coal is also a form of carbon as is Graphite. There are 3 grades of Coal - Lignite, which is 55% Carbon - Bituminous, which is 75 to 90 percent Carbon and Anthracite,which is 90% Carbon and 10% impurites.(such as Sulfur) In summary- Diamond, Coal and Graphite are all Different forms of Carbon
Water tanks in diamond mining operations are employed to separate mined aggregate material from diamond material.
The hardest material known to man is currently called lonsdaleite (a carbon form), which is approx. 58 % harder than a diamond and then there is wurtzite boron nitride which is about 18% harder than diamond. Both occur in nature just like diamonds.
diamond is the hardest material and if it is sharpened , then it is the sharpest material
The hardest naturally occurring substance is called diamond. It is a form of carbon.
