How many atoms are in diamond?
Diamond is composed of individual carbon atoms in a covalent network, so a diamond can in a way be though of as one giant molecule. The number of atoms depends on the size of the diamond. There are about 1022 or ten sextillion atoms for every carat.
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!
How many protons and neutrons does a diamond have?
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms. The atomic number of carbon is 6, so all carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of carbon. Carbon-11 atoms have 5 neutrons, carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons, carbon-13 atoms have 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons. Refer to the related links below to see the Wikipedia articles on carbon and diamond.
What is a crystal formed by covalent bonds among atoms?
There are so many such crystals one example is Diamond.
In diamond carbon atoms are bonded together by extended covalent bonds. What type of solid is diamond?
Diamond has an octahedral structure.
How many atoms are in diamond?

How many carbon atoms are in the diamond unit cell?
In a diamond unit cell, each carbon atom is located at the corners of the unit cell. Since there are eight corners in a unit cell, each shared by 8 adjacent unit cells, the contribution to the total number of carbon atoms is 1/8 of a carbon atom per unit cell. Therefore, there is 1 carbon atom per unit cell.
How many atoms do six grams of diamond have?
Diamond is made of up carbon. So, it has a molar mass of 12 g/mol. 6 g/mol / 12 g = 0.5 mol 0.5 mol * 6x10^23 atoms/mol = 3x10^23 atoms There are 3x10^23 atoms in six grams of diamond.
What is the atomic number of diamond?
Diamond does not technically have an atomic number as it is not an element. a diamond is a crystal made from many atoms of carbon which has an atomic number of 6.
How many carbon atoms are in 2 grams of 1 carat diamond?
1.004x1023

Is diamond 100 percent carbon?
yes, diamond is made of carbon. Diamond is a macromolecule made of many carbon atoms. Each carbon atom is joined to 4 more carbon atoms each. Having each atom of carbon bonded to four other atoms is why diamond is so hard- there are lots of strong chemical bonds to overcome.
Is a diamond made up of atoms?
Everything is made of atoms.
What is hardest object diamond or platinum?
Diamond, Its atom structure formed by many carbon atoms in such a way makes it very strong indeed
What the destiny of a diamond?
Diamond atoms are more densely packed together than are the atoms of any other natural substance.
How many protons and neutrons does a diamond have?
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms. The atomic number of carbon is 6, so all carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of carbon. Carbon-11 atoms have 5 neutrons, carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons, carbon-13 atoms have 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons.

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.
