Because the lattice structure packs the carbon atoms closer together in diamond than in any other substance.
Diamonds are transparent, meaning they allow light to pass through them with little to no scattering. This optical property is one of the main reasons why diamonds are valued for their brilliance and sparkle.
Raw diamonds can be transparent, translucent or opaque, depending on their clarity. Gem-quality diamonds are transparent.
No, raw black diamonds are not transparent. They appear black due to numerous inclusions and impurities that scatter light, giving them their dark color. Transparency is associated with white or colorless diamonds.
Yes, diamonds are generally transparent and allow light to pass through them, giving them their characteristic sparkle. However, impurities or structural irregularities can cause a diamond to have a cloudy or less transparent appearance.
Glass, water, clear plastic, ice, cellophane, acrylic, diamonds, lenses, windows, and light bulbs are all examples of transparent objects.
diamonds that are clear -- that are transparent.
Gem-quality diamonds -- only about 20% of all diamonds mined -- are transparent, some flawlessly transparent. A gem-stone diamond's transparency can range from transparent or sub-transparent to translucent. Industrial diamonds -- 75% of all diamonds mined -- are not transparent at all, but are even cloudy to dull. you can see through it if it is a gem-quality diamond

Gemstone diamonds of whatever colour are transparent.

One would describe a high-quality black diamond as translucent, not as transparent.
Depending on the individual diamond, it is transparent to translucent.
Uncut diamonds can be formed into pyramid-shaped stones, sometimes with the bottoms of two pyramids joined at the base. However, most uncut diamonds are irregular in their shape. Gem-quality stones are transparent and coloured raw diamonds are clearly coloured and transparent.
No, diamonds are transparent or translucent, allowing light to pass through them. This property is what gives diamonds their brilliant sparkle and shine.
