Graphite and graphene (SP2 electron configuration) are good conductors of electricity. They have delocalised p orbitals which carry charge. Diamond and buckminster-fullerene are badconductors of electricity since their electrons are bound to the atoms.
Graphite and graphene are quite good at conducting heat, but diamond is the really good one - in fact it is the best conductor of heat known to man. This is because of the rigid sp3 tetrahedrallattice structure which allows vibrations to travel oober fast.

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
Does carbon have good conductivity?
yes because that is why batteries contain carbon
Can sulphur and carbon used for making wires?
sulphur and carbon are nonmetal they are not a good conductor of heat and electricity.
What is the equation of carbon burning in a good supply of oxygen to form carbon dioxide?
C + 02 => co2
Do diamonds conduct electricity?
they don't conduct electricity: they have no free electrons. graphite, however, made of the same stuff as diamond (carbon) has a different structure, which means that it does have free electrons, and a lot of them. Therefore graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Why does electricity travel faster on wet surfaces?
Because water is a good cunductor of electricity.
Which non metal is good conductor of electricity?
Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.
Which form of Carbon is a good conductor of electricity and heat?
Graphite is the type of carbon that conducts electricity but poorly than metal
IS CARBON A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY?
YES CARBON IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY
Is sulfur a better conductor than carbon?
No, carbon in the form of graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Sulfur is not an electrical conductor.
Which non metals are good conductor of electricity?
name two non metal are good conducter
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
Does carbon have good conductivity?
yes because that is why batteries contain carbon
Is carbon a electric conductor?
Yes, carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
Why are carbon rods used to conduct electricity?
carbon rods are good at conducting electricity because of the electrons in its outer shell. the electrons move easily. graphite and carbon rods are the only conducters which are not metal
Why carbon is a bad conductor of electricity?
No, carbon is a good conductor of electricity. Example, the carbon brushes in electric motors. But you might research the conductivity of Diamond and Graphite.
Why is carbon a good conductor of electricity?
No, carbon is a common element used in resistors in electronics.
