Why graphite is good conductor of electricity but diamond isn\'t ? If both are the form of carbon. |
|
Answer» Graphite can conduct electricity because of the delocalised (free) electrons in its structure. These arise because each carbon atom is only bonded to 3 other carbon atoms. ... However, in diamond, all 4 outer electrons on each carbon atom are used in covalent bonding, so there are no delocalised electrons. Because graphite contains free electrons so , electricity pass easily.But diamond dont contain free electron both are carbon components,and both non metal. Ha bhai |
