Is diamond an element

Answer 1

YES and NO Diamond is a form of Carbon so the element is actually called CARBON not diamond.

Carbon atoms can link together in nature in a variety of ways (this is not unique, for instant Sulfur does similar things) to form solids that look remarkably different . The are called allotropes of carbon and there are a number of of them. Here are some of the most well known:-

• Diamond
• Graphite
• buckminsterfullerenes
• Graphene
• Amorphous carbon
• Glassy carbon
• Carbon nanofoam

Answer 2

When you mean pure, I assume you mean an element? Diamond is made of carbon with extrememly strong covalent bonds, so no, it is not an element, but a subtance. However, diamonds can be called pure substances, if you do not take into account the slight mixing within their lattice structures.

Answer 3

No, a diamond ring is not an element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Diamond, on the other hand, is a form of carbon, which is an element. A diamond ring is a piece of jewelry that typically consists of a diamond or diamonds set in a metal ring, which is a combination of different elements such as gold, silver, or platinum.

Answer 4

No, diamond is not an element. Diamond is a pure form of carbon, which is an element on the Periodic Table..getElements are substances made of one type of atom, while compounds are made of two or more types of atoms chemically bonded together.

Answer 5

Carbon is the element; diamond is an allotrope of carbon.

Answer 6

A diamond ring is an object made up of metal and set with a diamond, which is composed of the element carbon.

Answer 7

No. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon, which is an element.

Answer 8

Diamond is a form of carbon.
