why diamond has high melting point
kimEffyDean:
It is an allotrope of carbon thus it has a strong inter ionic force with it
it doesn't hv Ionic bond it has covalent bond
i am not talking about the bond...its the force...

Hello dear
If you like my answer then mark me brainliest
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. This makes diamond's melting point and boiling point very high.

Because the structure of diamond is cubical giving it a strong structure.
Also the C-C bond energy is more.
