Which is the only non metal which is good conductor of heat and electricity?

diamond


Why diamond is a poor conductor of heat?

It's pure carbon. If molded glass or ceramic is a resistor , then diamond must be even more so, as it can withstand more heat and pressure than either one of those materials.


Why is a dimond important?

The diamond allotrope of carbon is important because it is very hard and a good conductor of heat.


Is diamond a poor conductor of electricity?

Yes. Diamond is a poor conductor of electricity.


Can a vacuum is conductor or non conductor?

A vacuum is a non conductor.


What non metal is a thermal conductor?

Carbon and Sulfur are both elements that satisfy your query. There are several others, including many gases.


Why a diamond is a carbon but not heat conductor?

because it is a heat conductor!


Which non metal is very hard?

The non metal that has the highest melting point is Carbon. The reason for this is because Carbon has such strong bonds. An example of this would be a diamond.


Are all non metals non-conductor of heat?

Hmmm.... It would be hard to say any material was a non-conductor of heat, although certainly some materials are better heat conductors than others. Carbon forms Graphite and Diamond, both of which are relatively good heat conductors. (Graphite is also a good electrical conductor). Air and gasses tend to be poor heat conductors due to the rarefied nature of their molecules. and the best insulators such as silica aerogel utilize this, as well as limiting convection.


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.


Is diamond the best conductor?

No, Silver is.


Is diamond a good conductor on heating?

no
