Is Diamond a rock?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. The structure of the diamond itself is the real reason why it is not considered a rock. By definition, a rock is a substance made up of two or more minerals.
  2. Although they are composed of unique minerals, rocks are what we often see in nature.
  3. A rock must have at least two minerals in its composition.
  4. Diamond cannot be considered as such because it solely includes carbon.

Hence, a diamond is not a rock.
