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 silicon carbide conduct electricity?
Does it have a Photovoltaic affect? Ive seen this in a pdf . Diamond Gives off a charge when rubbed "Carbon" and silicon makes electricity in the sun. So I think the conduct electricity. They however have large resistance to electricity and produce extreme heat eg Atkinson Furnace Carbon electrodes and Silicon used in pc components and electrical devices like resistors.So combining them should conduct electricity Jono
Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
Does methanol conduct electricity?
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
How is the conductivity show by carbon compounds?
they conduct electricity by free electron present in compound. I'm not sure about this ans.
Which non metal conducts electricity?
Carbon (graphite) will conduct electricitySilicon metallic will conduct electricity
Does a pencil conduct electricity?
Yes the center carbon or lead can conduct electricity. The carbon in the pencil is also used in resistors for resistance in a circuit.
Can carbon charcoal conduct electricity?
yes

yes
Which non metal can slightly conduct electricity?
Carbon can conduct electricity reasonably well and is a non-metal.
Which form of carbon will passes electricity?
Graphene, graphite, and some carbon nanotubes can all conduct electricity.
What conducts electricity other than metal?
carbon is not a metal and can conduct electricity
Does carbon powder when mixed in Araldite conduct electricity?
no
Does carbon dioxide and water conduct electricity?
yes
