A mineral that is made up of only one element is called a native element. Examples include gold, silver, and diamond.
The mineral found in diamonds is carbon. Diamonds are made up of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
Technically, diamond is neither an element, a compound, or a mixture. Diamond is made up of pure carbon atoms, so it is not a mixture, and a compound by definition requires two or more different elements. The best definition using the above terms is that diamond is a mineral made up of the same element.
Diamond is harder than iron. Diamond is the hardest known natural mineral and can scratch iron.
A diamond's mineral name is carbon. Diamonds are formed from crystallized carbon under high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's mantle.
Gold, Diamond
A mineral that is made up of only one element is called a native element. Examples include gold, silver, and diamond.
It's called an elemental mineral, like diamond (crystallized carbon) or gold.
It's called an elemental mineral, like diamond (crystallized carbon) or gold.
carbon
No, diamond is not an alloy. Diamond is a naturally occurring mineral made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
Carbon.
The element carbon is made into diamond -- diamonds are not made into anything else. The mineral is used to make jewelry and industrial saws/drilling bits.
Diamond is a mineral made up of Carbon.
The coating on gum is made out of a mineral called a diamond.
A diamond is a mineral, not a rock. It is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which makes it a mineral. Rocks, on the other hand, are made up of one or more minerals.
Rocks are made up of minerals, which can have varying levels of hardness. The only mineral to have a hardness of 10 is diamond.
