The atoms in a diamond crystal are in an arrangement called "cubic closest packing". As you might guess from the name, this packs the maximum amount of atoms in the minimum possible space, so diamonds are more dense than, say, graphite, which doesn't pack its atoms as closely together.
Diamond is more dense than coal. This is because diamond has a more tightly packed crystal structure, making it denser compared to coal which is less compact.
A diamond's contents are primarily carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure. Trace elements may also be present, influencing the diamond's color.
Diamond is more dense than iron. The density of diamond is around 3.5 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of iron is around 7.9 grams per cubic centimeter.
Iridium is not stronger than diamond. Diamond is the hardest known natural material, while iridium is a very dense and corrosion-resistant metal. Diamond's superior hardness comes from its molecular structure, making it harder than any other naturally occurring material.
Diamonds have an extremely high index of refraction, the property that makes a spoon in a cup of water look bent at the point where the water meets the air. It causes light that enters the diamond come back out at different angles, and some of the light reflects within the diamond for a while before coming back out (it's the same phenomenon as when you look at the surface of the water in a fish tank from a very shallow angle below the surface and it looks like a mirror, except to a greater angle). Light traveling from a less dense medium, like air, into a more dense medium, like a diamond, is bent toward the normal, the imaginary line perpendicular to the surface where the two media meet at the point where the light enters. Light going from a more dense medium to a less dense medium is bent away from the normal. Also, different colors (wavelengths) are bent different amounts, which is how a prism works and why sunlight reflecting off the insides of raindrops creates a rainbow.

Diamond is the most dense medium among glass, water, and diamond. This is because density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume, and diamond has a higher atomic packing density compared to water and glass, making it the most dense material.
Diamond is the most dense material among glass, water, and diamond. Diamond has a higher density due to its tightly packed crystal lattice structure, which results in a higher mass per unit volume compared to glass and water.
because it is found rarely and more dense than coal
Diamonds are denser and harder than glass, as diamonds can score glass - as in a diamond glass-cutter.

nothing can scratch a diamond other than another diamond with more pure properties such as being more clear, more dense, larger,
It Should have the same density as carbon since its a (insert vocabulary word here). Ex: carbon is graphite and diamond, just made different ways. :)
Yes. They do become less dense provided that the diamond melts. The particles in liquid are less close to each other as compared to in a solid.
Light is not a term usually used to describe diamonds -- but literally, the lightest diamond would be the diamond with the least weight.
Diamond , nearly twice that of graphite. (charcoal is not a fair comparison it is a porous partially combusted wood product composed mainly of graphite but there are many impurities.)
Diamond is more dense than iron. The density of diamond is around 3.5 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of iron is around 7.9 grams per cubic centimeter.
