What is the type of covalent bond that is found in a diamond?

Answer 1

Diamond is a 100% carbon compound. It has carbon-carbon covalent bonding with each carbon atom bonded to other four-carbon atoms.

Diamond exhibits covalent network bonding (strongest there is)

Answer 2

These are giant molecular lattice structures. This implies that strong covalent bonding holds their atoms together in a highly regular extended network. The bonding between the atoms goes on and on in three dimensions. Melting requires the separation of the species comprising the soild state, and boiling the separation of the species comprising the liquid state. Because of the large amount of energy needed to break huge numbers of covalent bonds, all giant covalent network structures have high melting points and boiling points and are insoluble in water. Diamond, graphite (allotropes of carbon) and quartz (silicon(IV) oxide, SiO2) are examples.

Answer 3

A diamond is made up of carbon atoms that are bonded together through strong covalent bonds known as sp3 hybridized bonds. These bonds involve the sharing of electrons between the carbon atoms in a three-dimensional network structure, giving diamond its exceptional hardness and transparency.

Answer 4

The type of covalent bond in a diamond is a 'giant covalent' bond in a crystalline structure.
