yes diamond is a better conductor of heat than graphite because heat travels through the shared bond and thus heat can travel very fast as is rate of heat transfer through conduction is inversely proportional to the length.graphite is not as a good conductor of heat as diamond because heat is transferred through the free electron and is not as effective as conduction process in diamond.

Which element is most likely to conduct heat and electricity?
Diamond,Silver and Copper.
Do glass conduct heat?
Glass is not a good conductor of heat it is a neutral conductor. Meaning it is neither hot nor cold.
Do nonmetal conduct heat?
No they do not. They keep the heat in. In other words they are Insulators.
Does phosphorous conduct heat?
Everything conducts heat, but phosphorous is a non-metal, so as a guess I would say it doesn't conduct well
What can conduct heat poorly?
plastic and wood Actually Mr. peanut wouldn't conduct heat...
How do you test diamond?
Diamonds conduct heat so you can test them with a diamond tester.
Does Diamond have cooling effect?
Diamond doesn't have any cooling effect but it is an effective heat sink since diamonds conduct heat quite easily.
Why is diamond a good of heat like metals but a bad conductor of electricity unlike metals?
this is due to the fact that diamond has perfect lattice structure which helps it to conduct heat but due to the absence of free electrons it cannot conduct electricity. there are two modes to conduct heat :1) thraugh free electron transfer 2) thraugh lattice vibration .in diamond lattice vibration is dominant. for further study read conduction heat tranfer .
What types of matter do not conduct heat at all?
Every matter conducts heat but non-metals conduct less heat than metals generally . For exception diamond which is a non metal is one of the best conductors of heat.
Is diamond a semiconductor or not?
Diamonds conduct heat and electricity: this is the property tested by diamond probes. And in the technology sense of semiconductor, diamond is too expensive to be used for this purpose.
Which element is most likely to conduct heat and electricity?
Diamond,Silver and Copper.
Do all objects equally conduct or absorb heat?
No. The ability to conduct heat (known as thermal conductivty) is a unique property of a substance. Metals, for instance, typically conduct heat better than nonmetals. But diamond is the best thermal conductor of all. The ability to absorb heat (known as specific heat) is likewise unique for different substances.
Why diamond conduct more heat than silver?
Yes, by some accounts as much as five times more heat than silver or copper.
Why blue diamond can conduct electricity?
Blue diamonds do not conduct electricity. Diamonds do, however, conduct heat, in fact five times better than silver. Both diamonds and graphite are produced naturally from carbon. Diamond is an excellent electrical insulator, graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
How does diamond conduct heat?
From About Education:"Most diamonds are extremely efficient thermal conductors, but electrical insulators."Diamond conducts heat well as a result of the strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms in a diamond crystal. Thermal conductivity of natural diamond is around 22 W/(cm·K), which makes diamond five times better at conducting heat than copper. "
Does a teapot conduct heat?
can a teapot conduct heat
