A diamond is 100% carbon, and the structure may also be contaminated with traces of other minerals, some of which give a diamond colour.
For example, the Hope Diamond is blue, because those crystals contain minute amounts of boron.
No, carbon cannot be removed from a diamond as it is a pure form of carbon. The structure of a diamond is a tightly bonded network of carbon atoms, and it is not possible to chemically or physically remove the carbon without altering the structure of the diamond.
Got that backwards- diamonds are composed of carbon. But not all carbon is diamond.
The oxidation number of a carbon atom in diamond is 0, because carbon atoms in diamond have a formal charge of 0. Each carbon atom in diamond is bonded to four other carbon atoms, forming a tetrahedral structure, and there are no net charges on the molecule.
If you think to diamond as a carbon allotrope, the chemical symbol of carbon is C.
Up to one hundred percent of every diamond is carbon, with trace amounts of other minerals that may give the diamond a colour.
100%, Diamonds are pure carbon
100 %, as in diamond.
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.
Diamond is the diamond form of carbon
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal lattice structure.
That would be coal. --------------------------------- The correct answer is Carbon - Coal is also a form of carbon as is Graphite. There are 3 grades of Coal - Lignite, which is 55% Carbon - Bituminous, which is 75 to 90 percent Carbon and Anthracite,which is 90% Carbon and 10% impurites.(such as Sulfur) In summary- Diamond, Coal and Graphite are all Different forms of Carbon

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.It is not an elemental carbon.
noAnother AnswerAll diamonds are allotropes of carbon: there is no diamond if there is no carbon.
Pure substance; it is one form of pure carbon.
Pure carbon refers to carbon in its elemental form, known as allotropes. Common examples include graphite, diamond, and fullerenes. These forms have unique properties due to the arrangement of carbon atoms.
