The atoms are very close together.

Atoms...As basic science will teach you, the hardness of every material is based on how its atoms are aligned - in a gas they can freely float, in a liquid they are touching but can move and in a solid they are compacted together.

In Diamonds, the atoms are so closely packed together, so it is a very hard substance.

It is important to remember that strength and hardness are two different things - a substance can be strong but incredibly soft. Don't confuse the two.
