A perfect/pure diamond is made exclusively of carbon (the element). The specific conditions (temperature, pressure, time) that are required for diamonds to form and the fact that a carbon atom has four free electrons allow it to settle in the form of a crystal; that crystal is what we call the diamond. Given the strength of the links between the atoms; the diamond is the hardest natural solid on our planet.
It's also important to note that graphite is also pure carbon but the way the carbon atoms are linked to each other (the number of electrons shared between each atom is two vs. one for the diamond) gives it completely different properties. The carbon atoms form layers and the graphite is soft and slippery; which makes it a nice dry lubricant that is sometimes used in lock cylinders. It's also opaque; unlike diamond.
Diamond is an element, an allotrope of carbon.
A pure diamond is solely an allotrope of Carbon - meaning that it has a different bond structure (in this case, a lattice system, which allows for the refraction of light). However, there could be trace amounts impurities within the diamond, which may give it a blue, yellow, orange, pink, or red color when light refracts from it.
In an ideal case, it would be an element.
Yes, diamond is an allotrope of the element carbon.
Diamond is the crystalline form of the element Carbon.
Diamonds are made of carbon which is an element.
Diamond is formed from carbon. Trace elements that are not carbon can be considered impurities.
Diamond is carbon (C), a chemical element.
Diamond is an allotrope form of carbon.
It's an compound because it's a type of rock
What kind of mixture is a diamond
mixture.
Element: oxygen, potassium Compound: sodium chloride, potassium dichromate Mixture: air, orange juice
Technically, diamond is neither an element, a compound, or a mixture. Diamond is made up of pure carbon atoms, so it is not a mixture, and a compound by definition requires two or more different elements. The best definition using the above terms is that diamond is a mineral made up of the same element.
Calcium Carbonate is a compound and an element. However, it is not a mixture. If it is a compound or a element, then it can not be a mixture
A.) compound
Element
Diamond is a particular elemental compound composed of carbon.
mixture.
This compound is a molecule, so NOT an element, nor mixture. Chem. formula: C6H12O6 (an example of carbohydrate)
Is gasoline a element a mixture or a compound

Diamond is made up of pure carbon atoms, so it is not a mixture, and a compound by definition requires two or more different elements.

You get a mixture of an element and a compound.
Calcium Carbonate is a compound and an element. However, it is not a mixture. If it is a compound or a element, then it can not be a mixture
It's a production of the element carbon, but it itself isn't an element. Some say its a mixture because other minerals other than carbon can influence a diamond's colour.
Pure substance; it is one form of pure carbon.
