Substance that has sharp melting point in the following is:
Correct answer: D. Diamond
- A. Gemstone
- B. Coal tar
- C. Glass
- D. Diamond
Explanation
Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms in diamond. A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms. This is because covalent bonds are strong. This is the reason why diamond has a high melting point.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
