Is diamond an ionic bond

Answer 1

NO!!!! It a covalent bond.

Any one Carbon atom makes four single covalent bonds to four adjacent carbon atoms. The structure is referred to as ADAMANTINE.

Diamond is an ALLOTROPE of Carbon. Othe carbon allotropes are graphite(soot) and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene)

Answer 2

No, diamond does not consist of ionic bonds. Diamond is made up of carbon atoms linked by covalent bonds in a tetrahedral lattice structure. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms with a large difference in electronegativity, whereas covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Answer 3

diamond forms an atomic (network) solid. i am not sure what quartz from tho, sorry.

Answer 4

No. The very strong tetrahedral covalent bonding in diamond is what gives it its exceptional strength and thermal conductivity.

Answer 5

No. Diamond is a network solid, and is made up of a lattice of C-C covalent bonds.

Answer 6

No, it is not an ionic compound. It is made from carbon only and all these carbon atoms are covalently bonded.

Answer 7

As only carbon atoms are bonded together, bonds in diamond show a highly covalent character.

Answer 8

yes it dose
