Are diamonds a true form of carbon?

Yes or No?





I know they are made from it... but there not ';true forms of carbon';... right? Are diamonds a true form of carbon?
Diamonds are known as an ';allotrope'; of carbon. Allotropes are simply different ways of bonding of a certain element, which leads to the exhibition of different traits.





Carbon atoms bonded through network covalent bonds in a lattice shape forms a super hard form of carbon, known as diamond, so in that sense, diamond is a pure and true form of carbon.Are diamonds a true form of carbon?
Diamond is made of carbon and has a definite crystal structure, so it is considered to be a ';true'; allotrope of carbon. Graphite is another, as are lonsdaleite and chaoite (two rare allotropes formed at high pressures - they have been found in meteorite impact craters; the existence of chaoite as a separate phase is somewhat disputed though). In addition, fullerenes, which have a definite molecular structure, are considered allotropes of carbon. There are a few other synthetic ones as well.





Amorphous carbon is not considered a true allotrope as it lacks a crystal structure - this is the form of carbon found in soot, coal, and other common forms (though coal contains significant impurities, and soot contains some fullerenes).
We need to work on your questions phrasing because it would be dumb to say, ';Diamonds are a false form of carbon.'; That makes no sense (even if diamonds were not made of carbon. So, are you asking if diamonds are made of carbon? The answer is ';Yes.'; If they are made of carbon, they are, perforce, are a ';true form'; thereof.
Diamonds are made out of carbons. Yup, you are correct!
Correct, you just one: one free cruise,... Congrats!!
