Diamond is considered an elemental mineral.Diamond is made of pure carbon, with carbon atoms arranged in a cubic structure and bonded to their neighbors in a very compact way. So, diamond is made of an element but it is not an element. It is not a compound either, because, by definition, a compound is made up of two or more elements.
I would say diamond is crystalline form of carbon, that is, it is composed merely of carbon atoms in a highly structured arrangement. It is carbon, like charcoal, but its more expensive due to its good properties that include natural hardness and beauty. Note that only about 20% of all diamonds mined are gem-quality stones.
Diamond is one mineral in the isometric crystal system.
A diamond is a type of mineral composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure. It is not classified as a rock itself, but rather as a mineral found within certain types of rocks, such as kimberlite or lamproite.
Diamond is both a mineral, composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice, and a substance known for its hardness and brilliance.
Diamond is not considered a crystal stone, but rather a mineral composed of carbon atoms arranged in a unique crystal lattice structure. Its hardness, brilliance, and chemical composition set it apart from other crystal stones like quartz or amethyst.
i think sulfur is the softest and crystal is hardest
A mineral crystal is not necessarily a diamond, but a diamond is a mineral crystal. All minerals, such as diamond, have crystalline structures.
Diamond is one mineral in the isometric crystal system.
The diamond is the hardest mineral and is the state mineral of Arkansas.
Gem Diamond (1967) Mineral Quartz Crystal (1967) Rock Bauxite (1967)
Diamond is a special molecular arrangement of carbon, a mineral.
Yes, it is a naturally occurring crystal composed of carbon, considered a mineral, not a compound.
Yes, a diamond is considered a rock, specifically a form of a mineral called carbon. It is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
Crystal is a broad term that usually means any kind of shiny rock/mineral that can be used as jewelry. Diamond is just a type of "Crystal", so your question can't really be answered.
No, diamond is not an alloy. Diamond is a naturally occurring mineral made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
Diamond is the hardest mineral at Mohs hardness 10, ten being the hardest. There is no natural mineral substitute for processes requiring diamond. Diamond is four times as hard as corundum, the mineral constituting rubies and sapphires. Although diamond is the hardest naturally occurring mineral, it is easily fractured, a characteristic which allowed early jewellery makers to facet this crystal.
Diamond is a mineral that does not contain oxygen. It is composed of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
Diamond is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a unique crystal lattice structure.
