Question

Diamond has carbon but it does not breaks? why explain

Answer 1

The molecular structure of a diamond makes it hard, as diamonds are comprised of carbon atoms linked closely together in a lattice structure.The atoms are linked tightly via covalent bonds wherein two atoms share an electron. A tetrahedral unit is composed of five carbon atoms, with one carbon atom sharing electrons with the other four. An extremely strong molecule is formed from the tetrahedral bonding of five carbon atoms

Answer 2

Diamond has carbon but it does not breaks because it is changed into new substance by compressing and high temperature it has made up of carbon but it is differ from carbon.
