An allotropic form of the element ) which is thermodynamically at room temperature and in an
carbon
with cubic structure (space group stable
at pressures above metastable
at atmospheric pressure. At low pressures diamond converts rapidly to graphite
at temperatures above inert
atmosphere. The chemical bonding between the carbon atoms is covalent with hybridization
.Note:
There is also a hexagonal diamond-like structure of the element carbon (lonsdaleite).
