Hardest Materials (With Video Explanation)
HARDEST MATERIALS ON EARTH (With Video Explanation) Carbon is one of the most fascinating elements in all of nature, with chemical and physical properties unlike any other element. With just six protons in its nucleus, it's the lightest abundant element capable of forming a slew of complex bonds. All known forms of life are carbon-based, as its atomic properties enable it to link up with up to four other atoms at a time. The possible geometries of those bonds also enable carbon to self-assemble, particularly under high pressures, into a stable crystal lattice. If the conditions are just right, carbon atoms can form a solid, ultra-hard structure known as a diamond.

Here, we have included three matterials that are strongest among the six. Diamonds are still one of the hardest naturally occurring and abundant mater
