Which of the following is an element?

  • A.Ruby
  • B.Sapphire
  • C.Emerald
  • D.Diamond

Answer: D

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. Every atom is bonded to four others in a rigid tetrahedral network, which is what makes it the hardest natural substance.

Graphite, charcoal and the fullerenes are the other allotropes; they differ only in how the same atoms are arranged.
