There is no such thing as a "diamond molecule"; a diamond is just crystalized carbon atoms.
In another sense, a diamond is one big, visible molecule. A one-carat diamond is one big molecule weighing 0.2g and having 10 sextillion atoms. Lots and lots of atoms!

∙ 10y agoIn the diamond cubic unit cell, there are eight corner atoms, six
face centred atoms and four more atoms.
No. of atoms contributed by the corner atoms to an unit cell is
1/8×8 =1.
No. of atoms contributed by the face centred atoms to the unit cell
is 1/2 × 6 = 3
Total number of atoms present in a diamond cubic unit cell is 1 + 3 + 4 = 8.
Since each carbon atom is surrounded by four more carbon atoms,
the coordination number is 4.
There are four more atoms inside the structure.

How many atoms are in diamond?
Diamond is composed of individual carbon atoms in a covalent network, so a diamond can in a way be though of as one giant molecule. The number of atoms depends on the size of the diamond. There are about 1022 or ten sextillion atoms for every carat.
How many atoms are in a diamond?
a Carbon lattice structure (Carbon Atoms)Diamond is made of carbon atoms.
How many protons and neutrons does a diamond have?
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms. The atomic number of carbon is 6, so all carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of carbon. Carbon-11 atoms have 5 neutrons, carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons, carbon-13 atoms have 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons. Refer to the related links below to see the Wikipedia articles on carbon and diamond.
Why coal and diamond are completely different when both of them are made up of carbon atoms?
The carbon atoms that make up each are arranged in different patterns for all the allotropes of carbon, including coal and diamond.
Are there more carbon atoms in 48g of CO2 than in 12 grams of diamond?
There are more carbon atoms in 48 grams of CO2 than in 12 grams of diamond

Is diamond 100 percent carbon?
yes, diamond is made of carbon. Diamond is a macromolecule made of many carbon atoms. Each carbon atom is joined to 4 more carbon atoms each. Having each atom of carbon bonded to four other atoms is why diamond is so hard- there are lots of strong chemical bonds to overcome.

How many carbon atoms are in the diamond unit cell?
In a diamond unit cell, each carbon atom is located at the corners of the unit cell. Since there are eight corners in a unit cell, each shared by 8 adjacent unit cells, the contribution to the total number of carbon atoms is 1/8 of a carbon atom per unit cell. Therefore, there is 1 carbon atom per unit cell.
How can diamond and graphite both be carbon?
This is because the carbon atoms are arranged differently in diamond and graphite. In a diamond, the carbon atoms are in a three dimensional crystal lattice structure. In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in a two dimensional sheet.
What gemstone is made up of only carbon atoms?
Diamond is composed of the element carbon.
How many carbon atoms are in 2 grams of 1 carat diamond?
1.004x1023
What type of bonding is present in diamond?
Covlent- the carbon atoms are each surrounded tetrahedrally by 4 other carbon atms and their hybridisation is sp3
The carbon atoms in graphite and the carbon atoms in diamond have different?
They have different structures.They are both made up of Carbon (diamond has more Carbon atoms though) but the reason that graphite and diamond are so different in shape, hardness, etc, is due to how it is structured.The carbon atoms themselves are identical, the inter-atom bonding is different.Graphite - carbon atoms bond in flat hexagons that tessellate flat sheets.Diamond - carbon atoms bond in cubes that form a cubic crystal solid.
What is the atomic number of diamond?
Diamond does not technically have an atomic number as it is not an element. a diamond is a crystal made from many atoms of carbon which has an atomic number of 6.
Is a diamond a compound or an element?
Diamond is not an element but it is a compound of carbon. It is fully made of carbon atoms
