Question

The chemical bond in diamond is:
\[{\text{A}}{\text{.}}\] ionic
${\text{B}}{\text{.}}$ metallic
${\text{C}}{\text{.}}$covalent
${\text{D}}{\text{.}}$electrovalent

Answer 1

Hint: To answer this question we should have knowledge about diamond and its structure and how bond formation takes place inside the lattice of diamond then only we will be able to answer this type of question.

Complete answer:
Chemical bond is nothing but attraction between molecules ions or we may say attraction between any entities which results in formation of chemical compounds. It is generally an attraction between two opposite charges.
Now we should have some brief knowledge about diamonds.
Diamond: -
A diamond is one of the best known and most sought after gemstones. It is a decorative substance so always used in decoration. Its price is too much because of less availability in nature.
Its color may be black, grey, green , blue , red , purple, ellow, pink, brown, orange
It is an allotrope of carbon so its symbol is the same as carbon.
Crystal system of diamonds is cubic.
Diamonds were formed billions of years ago and are extremely rare.
Diamond is a covalent structure in which each carbon atom is joined to four other carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds. The carbon atoms form a regular tetrahedral network structure. There are no free electrons so diamond is a bad conductor of electricity.

Hence from the above information we can say that option C is the correct option.

Note: Whenever we get this type of question the key concept of solving is we should be brief about the terms which are used in the question and option. Here we should also know that diamond is allotrope of carbon then a question arises what is allotrope, allotrope means each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist.
