Reason behind Hardness is Diamond Structure Diamond is formed of tetrahedral bonded carbon atoms with 1 carbon atom linked to 4 other carbon atoms. This bond structure forms an inflexible three dimensional lattice and it is the prime reason behind the hardness of diamond.

Answer:
The heat and pressure causes the diamonds molecules to change so that they're so close together, the molecules can't move (known as covalent bonding). The closeness of these molecules forms a rigid bond, therefore making the diamond hard.
