Diamond is made up of Carbon atoms under tremendous temperature. After it melts, it sinks further below in the earth's mantle. Subjected to tremendous pressure, after a few billion years, diamond is formed. The mantle is a part of earth's lithosphere, which is below the crust, usually between 35- 2900 miles deep.

What is a naturally made solid that has a regular arrangement of particles?

A crystal is a naturally occurring solid material with a highly ordered arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules. Crystals exhibit a characteristic geometric shape and are formed through the process of crystallization. Examples include salt, quartz, and diamond.


How are crystals different than quartz?

Quartz is a type of crystal. There are many different types of crystals. A crystal is any solid with a regular repeating atomic/molecular structure. Quartz is a crystal that is composed of silicon dioxide. Diamond is a crystal of carbon. Rubies and sapphires are crystals of aluminum oxide. Salt is a crystal of sodium chloride. Even organic compounds, like sugar, can form crystals. Semi-crystalline material is also known, and an example of that is the common plastic HDPE (high density polyethylene).


What is a lattice compound?

A lattice compound is a type of chemical compound where the atoms are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern called a lattice structure. This structure gives the compound its unique physical and chemical properties. Examples of lattice compounds include salts like sodium chloride and crystals like diamond.


What do liquid crystals look like?

Liquid crystals appear similar to liquids, but they have properties of both liquids and solid crystals. Under polarized light, they exhibit colorful patterns due to their anisotropic nature, meaning their molecules have different properties depending on their orientation. Liquid crystals can be transparent or opaque, depending on their structure and arrangement of molecules.


Type of covalent bonding that is found in the diamond?

The type of covalent bond in a diamond is a 'giant covalent' bond in a crystalline structure. Actually, I think it's called a covalent network solid. I don't think chemists and physicists would like to use a layman's term like "giant".

Do all crystals have smooth edges?

No, not all crystals have smooth edges. Some crystals, like pyrite and fluorite, can have natural jagged or rough edges depending on their formation process. Smooth edges are more common in crystals like quartz and amethyst that form in more stable environments.
