It has a giant molecular structure. Each of the carbons are covalently bonded to 4 other carbon atoms. It takes a lot of energy to separate the diamond atoms as the covalent bonds are very strong and diamond contains many covalent bonds.

Heavy-duty drills bits, like those used to drill through rocks in the oil exploration industry, are made with diamonds so that they stay sharp for longer. ]]> 2018-01-21 08:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sfernandes3/npnd2qdojke0/wish/223071609 https://padlet.com/sfernandes3/npnd2qdojke0/wish/223071817 The strong bond between the carbon makes diamond hard and insoluble. Thus, the relationship between the carbon atoms makes up the different properties of diamond. ]]> 2018-01-21 08:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sfernandes3/npnd2qdojke0/wish/223071817
