Which allotrope of carbon is considered a decent conductor of eletricity?
graphite.
Does carbon have good conductivity?
yes because that is why batteries contain carbon
Is graphite a giant metallic?
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon and is semi metallic. It is a very good conductor of electricity and is also used for steel making, in batteries, brake lining and in pencils.
Name an allotrope of a non-metal which allows electricity to pass through it?
Graphite which is a crystalline allotrope of carbon conducts electricity because of the presence of free mobile electrons occassioned by their planar structure.
Is pencil lead a conductor of electricity?
yes pencil lead is a conductor it is made of graphite(a form of carbon) which is good conductor of electricity
Which allotrope of carbon is considered a decent conductor of eletricity?
graphite.
Which non metal is good conductor of electricity?
Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.
Is carbon an insulator or a conductor?
It depends on the type, or allotrope, of carbon you're talking about. For a material to conduct electricity, it should have free electrons to carry the electrical current. In diamond, an allotrope of carbon, there are no such free electrons. This means that diamond does not conduct electricity. However, graphite, another allotrope of carbon, conducts electricity very well because it has an entire "sea" of free electrons.
Does carbon have good conductivity?
yes because that is why batteries contain carbon
Why is graphite a poor conductor of electricity at high temperatures?
Carbon is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a nonmetal, which in general are poor conductors of electricity. However it should be noted that, graphite, an allotrope of carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
IS CARBON A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY?
YES CARBON IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY
Does carbon conduct electricity?
Graphite (an allotrope of carbon) and graphene does conduct electricity whilst other allotropes of carbon such as diamond do not.
Is a carbon rod an insulator?
A carbon rod may be an insulator or a conductor. It depends on which allotrope of carbon we're talking about. Electricity can travel through a graphite (carbon) rod easily, but it cannot travel through a diamond rod. Both graphite and diamond are carbon, but the former is a conductor while the latter is an insulator.
Is carbon a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Carbon is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Are carbon and aluminium good conductors of heat?
Aluminium is a good conductor. Carbon, in the form (allotrope) of graphite is a good conductor but its other allotropes are not.
Is graphite a giant metallic?
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon and is semi metallic. It is a very good conductor of electricity and is also used for steel making, in batteries, brake lining and in pencils.
Is carbon a electric conductor?
Yes, carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
