Question

what is diamond and what are the property of diamond​

Answer 1

Diamond

It is the purest crystalline allotrope of carbon. It has a number of carbons, linked together tetrahedrally. Each tetrahedral unit consists of carbon bonded to four carbon atoms which are in turn bonded to other carbons. This gives rise to an allotrope of carbon having a three-dimensional arrangement of C-atoms.

Properties of Diamond

❥It is extremely hard.

❥It has a very high melting point.

❥It has a high relative density.

❥It is transparent to X-rays.

❥It has a high value of the refractive index.

❥It is a bad conductor of electricity.

❥It is a good conductor of heat.°

❥It is insoluble in all solvents.°

The physical properties of graphite

• has a high melting point, similar to that of diamond. ...
• has a soft, slippery feel, and is used in pencils and as a dry lubricant for things like locks. ...
• has a lower density than diamond. ...
• is insoluble in water and organic solvents - for the same reason that diamond is insoluble.
