On the chemistry of the diamond<\/a><\/h2>\n

As most already know, the\u00a0diamond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a mineral considered beautiful, whose composition is the most simple that there are. In its entirety, although ever find with a minimum ratio of nitrogen, the diamond<\/strong><\/a> is composed of pure crystallized carbon. On the other hand, chemical element also composes part of our basic organic chemistry. It would be logical to think that the\u00a0diamond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0crystal<\/strong>, to be composed of the same chemical element that the graphite common, had the same way, but what distinguishes them is the way in which the chemical bonds that bind these carbon atoms<\/strong><\/a>. In the case of graphite, are the\u00a0carbon atoms<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are further apart.
\nThe\u00a0diamond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0crystal, formed from the repetition and the amount of\u00a0carbon atoms<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in the three directions that has space. These\u00a0carbon atoms<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are linked to each other through some chemical bonds very strong and very short, distinct from those of the graphite in its chain. These links in chemical terms receive the name of “covalent bonds”.
\nIt is for this reason that, the\u00a0diamond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0crystal<\/strong>, is cataloged within the group of glass gems of the type of group 1, or what is the same, the cubic system. Its physical properties make the\u00a0diamond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0one of the most precious minerals and used in the world of jewelry<\/strong><\/a>. With this, we know that the\u00a0diamond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a precious mineral that occurs in the natural state, in various shades. Shades that we can assess whether the light that shines on them are adequate. By the time we know diamonds<\/a><\/strong> colorless, blues, greens, yellows, pinks, reds, oranges, browns and blacks. Clear is that depending on the color, its value increases or decreases.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0diamond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and its curiosities<\/h2>\n

It is logical, and many of our readers already know, throughout history there have been and, probably, there will be\u00a0diamonds<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0known for its bizarre nature, size or origin.<\/p>\n
