Question

Are diamonds 100% carbon?

Answer 1

Diamond:

1. It's a naturally occurring mineral composed of carbon.
2. It consists of carbon atoms, arranged in a crystal structure known as diamond cubic.

Explanation:

1. Diamond consists of about 99.95% of carbon and the rest 0.05% can be either one or more trace elements that may influence its color and crystal shape.
2. Thus diamonds are not 100% carbon.
