What else can I help you with?
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.
Does carbon conduct electricity?
No, carbon in its pure form is not a good conductor of electricity. However, certain forms of carbon like graphene and carbon nanotubes can conduct electricity due to their unique structure and properties.
Why is graphite a conductor of electricity but is a non metal?
Graphite is a conductor of electricity due to its structure, which allows electrons to move freely between layers. While graphite has a non-metallic elemental composition (carbon), its unique layered structure allows it to conduct electricity like a metal.
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 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 conductor or insulator?
Carbon is a poor conductor of electricity. In its pure form, carbon is considered an insulator. However, carbon can be engineered to conduct electricity when it is in the form of graphite or graphene.
Is Carbon Dioxide a conductor?
yes it is a conductor
Is carbon a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Carbon is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Is sulfur a better conductor than carbon?
Sulfur is not a better conductor than carbon. Carbon has a higher electrical conductivity due to its structure, which allows for the free flow of electrons, while sulfur is a poor conductor of 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 isn't a good semi conductor?
Beg your pardon but Carbon is a good semi conductor - it is used in most small resisters.
Is carbon a insulator or conductor?
Carbon being a tetra valent forms covalent bonds. So basically carbon is not a good conductor. But at the same time it is not an insulator. When electric potential difference is maintained then bonds could be easily broken and movement of charges becomes easier. So it becomes a conductor but a good conductor. Hence carbon is used to make resistors.
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.
