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.

Coal and diamond are two different forms of carbon which is more dense?
Diamond is more dense that coal.
What is the Diamond's content?
its just pure super dense carbon
Why can diamonds cut through almost anything?
They are incredibly dense. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on earth.
Why the diamond is so hard?
Diamond is ultra-hard (higher strength to weight ratio than steel) due to the way the carbon atoms arrange themselves in solid state (i.e. graphite, diamond, amorphous). Diamond is comprised of carbon atoms bonded in the diamond lattice formation, in which every carbon atom is covalently bonded to another, resulting in a very dense atomic configuration. Further, the covalent bond is ultra strong, so diamond being dense and strongly bonded yields a high tensile strength.
Which is more dense diamond or iron?
Diamonds have a density of 3.51gm/cm3. Coal has a bank density of approximately 1346 kg/m³ (84 lb/ft³). Bulk density typically runs to 833 kg/m³ (52 lb/ft³).
Coal and diamond are two different forms of carbon which is more dense?
Diamond is more dense that coal.
Which medium is the most dense and how do you know glass water or diamond?
diamond
Which medium is most dense glass water or diamond?
Diamond, because it refracted the light the most.
What is the Diamond's content?
its just pure super dense carbon
How dense are diamonds?
According to Wikipedia: diamond density is 3.5-3.53 g/cm3.
Why is diamond costlier than coal?
because it is found rarely and more dense than coal
Why can diamonds cut through almost anything?
They are incredibly dense. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on earth.
What mineral can scratch a diamomd?
nothing can scratch a diamond other than another diamond with more pure properties such as being more clear, more dense, larger,
Is diamond is dense?
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. :)

Do diamonds become less dense when heat is added?
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.
Is diamond more dense than glass?
Diamonds are denser and harder than glass, as diamonds can score glass - as in a diamond glass-cutter.
