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.

Are the properties of diamond commensurate with the nature of bonding?

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.
