Question

give reasons why diamond has a high melting point.​

Answer 1

Answer:

here is ur answer

Explanation:

Diamond is a form of carbon in which each carbon atom is joined to four other carbon atoms, forming a giant covalent structure. As a result, diamond is very hard and has a high melting point. This explains why it is used in cutting tools. It does not conduct electricity as there are no delocalised electrons in the structure.

Silica (or silicon dioxide), which is found in sand, has a similar structure to diamond, so its properties are similar to diamond. It is hard and has a high melting point, but contains silicon and oxygen atoms, instead of carbon atoms.

Diamond it is a form of carbon so it having high melting point
