Diamond is a rare, naturally occurring mineral composed of carbon. Each carbon atom in a diamond is surrounded by four other carbon atoms and connected to them by strong covalent bonds. This simple, uniform, tightly bonded arrangement yields one of the most durable substances known.
Diamonds are not native to Earth's surface. Instead they form at high temperatures and pressures that occur in Earth's mantle about 100 miles down. Diamonds are brought to Earth's surface by volcanic eruptions. Instead of melting and being transported to the surface as a melt, the diamonds are carried to the surface in large pieces of mantle rock known as xenoliths. The diamonds are produced either by mining the rock which contains the xenoliths or by mining the soils and sediments that formed as the diamond-bearing rock weathered away.

What are composed of 2 or more elements that have been chemically combined?
Compounds are composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined in definite proportions. The elements in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which result in a unique set of properties different from the elements that make up the compound.
What are composed elements combined in a specific ratio called?
what consists of elements combined in a specific ratio?
What elements are made of diamond?
Pure diamonds are made solely of elemental carbon. Any colored diamonds have trace impurities consisting of various other elements. However, a pure diamond is simply carbon atoms bonded in a complex structure.
What elements are combined to make sugar?
Sugar is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These elements combine in various ratios to form different types of sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
What is the definition of combined elements?
Combined elements refer to the merging or mixing of different components, materials, or substances to create a new entity or compound. This can result in a synergistic effect where the combined elements exhibit characteristics or properties that are different from the individual elements on their own.
Elements are combined to make compounds?
Yes, chemical compounds are made up of elements combined together.
Can you make diamonds out of mixtures?
Mined diamonds are elements -- minerals. Man-made diamonds can be fabricated out of carbon.
What elements are combined to make salt?
Na:Sodium Cl:Chlorine NaCl= Salt
Does diamonds have the most or least elements?
Diamonds don't have more or less elements. It is just made of carbon.
What elements makes up compound?
two or more different elements
What compound does arsenic make when combined with other elements?
It depends on what elements it combines with and in what arrangement. There are many compounds of arsenic.
What elements and minerals are diamonds made of?
Diamonds are pure carbon.
Are diamonds substances or compounds?
Diamonds are formed from carbon, which is the only element contained in diamonds, except for traces of other elements, such as nitrogen and boron. Trace elements can give colour to diamonds.
Can the same elements be combined in different amounts to make a different compound?
Yes
What are the 2 common elements that are combined to make the formula of water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen
What are composed of 2 or more elements that have been chemically combined?
Compounds are composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined in definite proportions. The elements in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which result in a unique set of properties different from the elements that make up the compound.
What are elements combined to produce?
Chemical elements are combined to produce chemical compounds.
