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.
the element of CuCl would be Cu2Cl would be the answer.
A geologist would differentiate between a natural diamond -- formed by a geological process, and a synthetic diamond -- formed by a man-made process. Both diamonds are 'real diamonds'. Read more about synthetic diamonds, below.
The number of protons the element has
A rhinestone is an imitation diamond used in costume jewelry and to decorate clothes; therefore the opposite of rhinestone would be a real diamond, gem, or jewel.
Hydrogen, being the lightest element, would provide the most lift.
It would be pretty difficult for a wolf to attempt a sheep imitation. This imitation ice cream is pretty good.
Yellow gold would provide the highest contrast value as a background for a 1 carat diamond.
It depends upon the element. If it something like Diamond, then the cost will definitely be a lot. And if it something like Iron, then the cost would be relatively less.
Carbon in the form of diamond or nanotubes. Tin and Lead would be, but they are metals instead.
Imitation is when a person imitates another person that is not themselves. For example, they would imitate their gym teacher during the play.

When I am costumed as Count Dracula for Halloween and I meet up with another Count Dracula, I like to say "Vhat a cheap imitation!"I prefer real ice cream over imitation ice cream.Johnny Carson is well known for his imitation of a psychic reader.
any element will be stronger than diamond because an element is a single atom. deformation of an atom will take much more force than demolishing a diamond. Perhaps the right question would be: which compound is 51 % stronger than diamond? The answer to this question might be Lonsdaleite, practical proof still has to be obtained because all tested crystals were impure, only a simulation has been made so far of a pure sample (calculated at 58% harder).
A perfect/pure diamond is made exclusively of carbon (the element). The specific conditions (temperature, pressure, time) that are required for diamonds to form and the fact that a carbon atom has four free electrons allow it to settle in the form of a crystal; that crystal is what we call the diamond. Given the strength of the links between the atoms; the diamond is the hardest natural solid on our planet. It's also important to note that graphite is also pure carbon but the way the carbon atoms are linked to each other (the number of electrons shared between each atom is two vs. one for the diamond) gives it completely different properties. The carbon atoms form layers and the graphite is soft and slippery; which makes it a nice dry lubricant that is sometimes used in lock cylinders. It's also opaque; unlike diamond. Diamond is an element, an allotrope of carbon.
A jeweler would use another diamond to cut a diamond.
