It is a common misconception that buckminsterfullerenes (C60) conduct electricity. They are actually electrical insulators. Although each carbon atom is only bonded with 3 other carbon atoms inC60, ie each carbon atom contributes one delocalised electron, as C60has a simple molecular structure,the delocalised electrons are not able to move from one molecule to another, thus cannot conduct electricity.
However,C60reacts with potassium to give K3C60which is a superconductor. At that pointC60 is conductive.
Because, like graphite, it has got delocalized electrons. These electrons, when the C60 is exposed to a potential difference, are free to move towards the positive pole of the potential difference. But it's not the better conductor compared to graphite. Graphite has more weaker forces on its layers. This makes it more lubricant and therefore more electrically conductive.
Yes, Buckminsterfullerene can be either a condictor like metal of a semiconductor.
Yes Yes
Yes bananas conduct electricity
No, in general oils do not conduct electricity.
You can conduct electricity through liquid mercury.
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
A solution containing ions conduct electricity. They are different for each solution.
No because covalent bonds do not contain ions. (as you know electricity its a flow of charges/ions.) Therefore covlalent bonds, no matter in what state, cannot conduct electricity No because covalent bonds do not contain ions. (as you know electricity its a flow of charges/ions.)

no brinjal does not conduct electricity
It does not conduct electricity
Why does CCl4 not conduct electricity?
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
Yes bananas conduct electricity
Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
Superconductors can conduct electricity.
no, bones dosnt conduct electricity
yes a pineapple can conduct electricity.
Materials that do not conduct electricity are an insulator.
