Diamond atoms are just carbon atoms.

Chemically no atom of any kind can be split.

Via nuclear processes any atom heavier than hydrogen-1 can be split.

How many carbon atoms are there in a diamond?

There is no such thing as a "diamond molecule"; a diamond is just crystalized carbon atoms. In another sense, a diamond is one big, visible molecule. A one-carat diamond is one big molecule weighing 0.2g and having 10 sextillion atoms. Lots and lots of atoms!


Is diamond a silicate?

No, diamond is not a silicate. Diamond is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, whereas silicates contain silicon and oxygen atoms in their chemical composition.


How many atoms are in diamond?

Millions/billions. However, they are all CARBON atoms. This is because diamond is an ALLOTROPE of Carbon. Any one carbon atom will be combined in a single bonds to four adjacent carbon atoms. Allotropes are when a given element displays itself in a certain manner. Other allotropes of carbon are Graphite , and Buckminster Fullerene (Footballene).


Do atoms split?

Yes, atoms can split in a process called nuclear fission. This usually occurs in heavy elements when they absorb a neutron and split into smaller elements, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This phenomenon is the basis for nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.


How many atoms are in a diamond?

A diamond is composed of carbon atoms. The crystal structure of a diamond contains carbon atoms bonded together in a repeating pattern, with each carbon atom forming four covalent bonds with surrounding carbon atoms. This means that a diamond contains a very large number of carbon atoms, typically on the order of 10^23 atoms.

How can diamond and graphite both be carbon?

This is because the carbon atoms are arranged differently in diamond and graphite. In a diamond, the carbon atoms are in a three dimensional crystal lattice structure. In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in a two dimensional sheet.
