yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.

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.
Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Is a 10p a conductor or insulator?
It's made of steel with a coating of nickel, so it is a conductor but not as good as the old coins with copper in.
Is a steel spring a conductor or insulator?
Conductor
Is diamond a nonmetallic mineral or a metallic mineral?
A non-metal False becasue it is not a eleament sorry It Is a Poor Conductor Of Heat Because It Is Made Of Carbon .That Is Not A Metal
Is carbon conductor or insulator?
is carbon a conductor or insulator
Is carbon a electric conductor?
Yes, carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
IS CARBON A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY?
YES CARBON IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY
Is Carbon Dioxide a conductor?
yes it is a conductor
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.
Is carbon a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Carbon is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Why a diamond is a carbon but not heat conductor?
because it is a heat conductor!
Is a conductor a nonmetal?
Carbon
Does bromide in carbon tetrachloride is a conductor?
Carbon tetrachloride is not a...bromide.
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 carbon isn't a good semi conductor?
Beg your pardon but Carbon is a good semi conductor - it is used in most small resisters.
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.
