Diamond has a giant molecularstructure. Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms. A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond. This is because covalent bonds are strong, and diamond contains very many covalent bonds.

A diamond crystal has usually eight sides, forming double pyramids. In a regular diamond crystal, each carbon atom is held firmly in place of four bonds of the neighbouring carbon atoms. Such a configuration form highly strong bonds and hence makes it the hardest naturally occurring substance.
