Is oxygen gas compound or an element?
Oxygen Gas is itself a co-valent compound. It's formula is O2 which means oxygen gas is an atom contains two O molecules. Except zero group element all gases are compound.
Is carbon metallic?
NO!!! It is a non-metallic element. It exhibits several alloptropes, viz. Diamond., Graphite, and Buckminster Fullerene(Buckyballs). None of which are metallic.
Why is diamond element?
Because it is an allotrope of carbon. Carbon is an element , and appears in the periodic table. Othe allotropes of carbon are graphite and buckminster fullerene(footballene). An allotrope of an element is that element appearing in differenc physical characteristics.

Is diamond a foliated rock or a non foliated rock?
It is not a foliated rock. It is an allotrope of carbon. Carbon exhibits three known allotropes, they are graphite, diamond and Buckminster fullerene(buckyballs). Allotropes are were the element exhibits different physical forms of itself.
What are the three forms of the element carbon?
Diamond,graphite, and fullerene
Why is a compound different from an element?
a compound is many elements mashed together into one. water is H2O and is a compound. H2 for 2 hydrogen molecules, and O for 1 oxygen molecule. Oxygen is an element. When you give 1 oxygen molecule 2 hydrogen molecules it becomes a compound.
Describe how compound is different from an element?
