Structure of diamond
DiamondIt can also be prepared artificially but because of the high cost and poor quality, diamonds are seldom made artifically.StructureIn diamond , carbon is sp3– hybridised . Each carbon is tetrahedrally linked to four neighbouring carbon atoms through four strong C-C , sp3– sp3\xa0,\xa0σ bonds. This network extends in three dimensional and is very rigid.
Structure of diamond is tetrahedral
