Diamond is a pure carbon allotrope, so its chemical formula is simply C.
Notes:
- It's a covalent network solid (not a discrete molecule) with each carbon sp3-hybridized and tetrahedrally bonded to four others.
- Crystal system: cubic (diamond cubic), space group Fd-3m; lattice constant ≈ 3.567 Å; density ≈ 3.51 g/cm3.
- Natural diamonds often contain trace impurities (e.g., nitrogen or boron) that affect color and other properties.
