It is because of the fact that diamond has stronger covalent bond between C-C atoms and it requires large amount of energy to break the bonds.

Why is diamond a unusual non metal?
non-metals have lower density, melting and boiling point but diamond has higher density, melting and boiling point.
Why melting point of diamond is higher than that of silicon carbide?
Diamond is a covalent network solid, and those types of compounds have higher melting points than other types of compound.
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
Which has the highest melting point gold or water?
gold melts at 1,948°F (1,064°C)diamond does not melt, long before it would reach the melting temperature of the carbon that makes it up a diamond will cease to be diamond: in an atmosphere containing oxygen it burns becoming carbon dioxide, in an atmosphere without oxygen it transitions to graphite. carbon melts at 6,422°F (3,550°C)salt melts at 1,474°F (801°C)
Is the melting point of bromine higher or lower than the melting point of chlorine?
The melting point of bromine is -7,2 0C. The melting point of chlorine is -101,5 0C.
Why is the melting point of diamond higher than sulfur?
diamond has a 3 dimensional frame work of carbon and hence has high melting point
Why is diamond a unusual non metal?
non-metals have lower density, melting and boiling point but diamond has higher density, melting and boiling point.
Why does water have a higher melting point than oxygen?
Water has a high melting point and boiling point because of hydrogen bonds
Why melting point of diamond is higher than that of silicon carbide?

Does CaO or CS2 have a higher melting point?
CaO has a higher melting point.
Which has a higher melting point Neon or Argon?
