Diamond is pure carbon, except for occasionally trace minerals that give it colour. Nitrogen is the most common element, giving gem-stone diamonds a yellow cast.

Is a diamond a element compound or a mixture?

Technically, diamond is neither an element, a compound, or a mixture. Diamond is made up of pure carbon atoms, so it is not a mixture, and a compound by definition requires two or more different elements. The best definition using the above terms is that diamond is a mineral made up of the same element.

How do you separate iodine crystals from diamond?

Iodine crystals can be separated from diamond by using sublimation. Iodine can be sublimated at a low temperature, converting it from a solid to a gas without melting. This allows the iodine to be collected as a gas, leaving behind the diamond.


Is diamond a mixture?

Pure diamond is unique in that it is a gemstone composed of a single element, carbon. However, most white diamonds contain trace amounts of nitrogen, with less than 2% of natural white diamonds having no nitrogen. So, speaking of pure diamond, it is not a mixture, but in reality, most white diamonds do contain trace impurities of nitrogen (less than 1% however).
