Carbon. (C)
Carbon is present in both diamond and graphite, both contain carbon atoms but they have different structure means carbon atoms are attach with each other in different manner in both diamond n graphite, in graphite three out of four electrons of outer most shell r attached with other electrons of other carbon atoms and one electron is fee that's why graphite is a good conductor of electricity .
