Diamond is simply Carbon (C). The same element that graphite in pencils is made of. Diamonds are highly unreactive.
The principle element in diamond is carbon. What gives diamond its hardness and rarity is the way in which the carbon atoms are held together and bonded.
Brief description: carbon is a Group 14 element and is distributed very widely in nature. It is found in abundance in the sun, stars, comets, and atmospheres of most planets.
Carbon is found free in nature in allotropic forms: amorphous, graphite, and diamond.
- Graphite is one of the softest known materials while diamond is one of the hardest.
- Carbon, as microscopic diamonds, is found in some meteorites.
- Natural diamonds are found in ancient volcanic "pipes" such as found in South Africa.
- Diamonds are also recovered from the ocean floor off the Cape of Good Hope.
yes it is composed of carbon
carbon carbon carbon Diamonds are 100% pure carbon, with the atoms arranged in crystal lattice

∙ 15y agoYou may be surprised to know - diamonds are made of the same matter as common coal! This element - carbon - is a crucial element. It is involved in more or less every live organism on earth. However, the difference between the two is it's structure. Diamonds are formed under massive pressure and strain from the earth above it whilst it is underground - these forces crush and press the carbon atoms together until they are as close as they can get - in a refined and uniform structure. This structure is known as a giant covalent structure, where each carbon atom is connected directly to 6 other ones. Coal however doesn't have this rigid uniform structure - it's full of holes and other elements and impurities. The uniform setup of covalent bonds (sharing electrons) means that a diamond is incredibly strong and resilient - it is one of the strongest materials on earth!
