Diamond is made up of pure carbon. In the structure of diamond one carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms forming a covalent bond. All the electrons of each carbon atom is shared and the octet rule is satisfied. Hence no free electron is left for the conductance of electricity.

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.
Is cermaic a good conductor?
No. Ceramic is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Why is halite a bad conductor of electricity?
Because it doesn't have enough hydraulics for the electricity to pass through so the electricity contact with the atoms is bad. that's why... your welcome!
Is chlorine a good or bad conductor of heat and electricity?
I believe chlorine would be a bad conductor of electricity. Not sure about the heat. Usually one would want to stick to using a type of metal and stay away from most liquids when trying to conduct electricity.
What the difference between a good conductor and a bad conductor?
A good conductor will conduct more heat, or more electricity, depending on the context, than a bad conductor. That is, it will transfer more of either in any given time period.
Which is bad conductor of electricity but good conductor of heat?
glass, ceramic,diamond, are somtricitytte of the conductor of hear but bad conductor of electricity meher n sethna
Is diamond a poor conductor of electricity?
Yes. Diamond is a poor conductor of electricity.
Why is diamond a bad conductor of electricity?
All four valanced electron of each carbon atom involves in formation of covalent bond living no free electron to conduct electricity under influnce of electric field thats why diamond is bad conductor of heat and electricity
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.
Is zinc an good or bad conductor of electricity?
zinc is a good conductor of electricity
Why graphite is good conductor of electricity while diamond is not?
Graphite is a good conductor of electricity beacause graphite is sp-2 hybirdize orbit
What is the difference between insulator and bad conductor and semi conductor?
an insulator doesn't allows electricity pass from it, a bad conductor allows electricity to pass from it but not fully or completely and a semi conductor pass electricity in little form which used to operate electronics
Is diamond bad conductor of heat?
yes
Bad conductor of heat and electricity is?
insulator
Which is the only non metal which is good conductor of heat and electricity?
diamond
Is a candle good conductor of heat?
Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is a diamond a thermal and electrical conductor?
A diamond is a superior conductor of thermal energy (heat). It's better at this than anything else we know of. But diamond is a poor conductor of electricity. It's actually a pretty good insulator.
