Can Diamond Really Be Formed From Coal? by Odunayomi247(m): 2:57pm On Sep 20, 2020 |
Over the years countless Superman comic books, TV shows and movies have shown the fabled Kryptonian crushing clumps of coal between the palms of his hand to turn them into shiny, sparkling diamonds. It's easy to see where the idea came from, though. Diamonds and coal are both, at their base, different forms of the element carbon (C on the periodic table). And yes, pressure is a key part of what turns decaying carbon-based life forms such as plants into coal, as well as what turns carbon into diamonds So can coal really be turned into diamond? |
