Q. 36 C4.2( 12 Votes )
Explain why, diamond has a high melting point.
Answer :
In diamond crystal, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to other four carbon atoms to form three-dimensional network structure. This network is very strong and rigid. A lot of energy is required to break the network of strong covalent bonds in the diamond crystal. This makes the diamond’s melting point very high.
