Diamond is an allotrope of Carbon, the reason for it's strength is pyramid-like structure is that of the strongest structures known to man, this therefore means it can be used for jewellery because the jewell itself cannot be broke or crushed and tipping a workman's tools because it can cut or grind through any metal without breaking. Diamond's structure disables itself to conduct electricity because all it's electrons are delocalised meaning they have no 'spare' electrons to pass electricity through it's structure...
Well, diamonds are actually composed of carbon atoms that are covalently bonded to each other in a square-like formation. These formations are present in the diamond and form a crystalline structure that is hard to break. This covalently-bonded network of carbons is very strong and exists throughout the diamond.
I would say thet "strong" is an inapropriate term...Diamons has 4 bonds that are equally strong and covalent. That makes diamond one of tha hardest materials known to man. However toughness is a completely different thing. You can shatter a diamond, but cant cut it, and you can cut almost everything with a diamond.
Diamonds are highly valuable because they are rare.
Diamond
Diamond is produced from the element carbon.
No, diamond is a form of the pure element carbon.
its an element diamond*
Carbon.
If you mean the elements in the Periodic Table it is carbon. If your talking about in general, diamond is by far the strongest element known to human.
Yes because it is made of Carbon and Carbon is one of the strongest element.
It depends on how thick
the strongest mineral is the diamond, actually the strongest mineral is the quartz and the strongest rock is diamond
The worlds strongest rock is diamond
Diamond!
wood->stone->steel->diamond gold is as strong as wood but as fast as diamond
the strongest Pokemon is arceuse
diamond
Diamond
Diamond is the strongest material know to man.
Original answer: yes-it is the strongest substance on earthYes, diamond is the strongest Natural substance on earth, but it is not nearly the strongest substance of all, and diamond is a mineral... not a metal... there are other ores such as titanium and tungsten that can be strengthened to become thousands of times stronger than diamond.
