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.

Is carbon a conductor?
yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.
Is vinyl a conductor or an insulator?
insulator
Is acetate a conductor or insulator?
Insulator
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.
What is an insulator a conductor?
An insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity. A conductor is a material that does conduct electricity. For example, copper is a conductor and glass is an insulator.
Is carbon conductor or insulator?
is carbon a conductor or insulator
Is a carbon rod a conductor or insulator?
As regards electrical conduction, if the carbon rod is graphite, it's a conductor. If the carbon rod is diamond, it's an insulator. We have to specify the allotrope of carbon used to make the rod to discover whether it's an insulator or conductor.
Is carbon a good insulator or semiconductor?
carboon is a insulator,bt isomers of carbon graphite is a conductor.
Is carbon an insulator in electrical?
No, it's a conductor.
Is a pencil lead a conductor or insulator of electricity?
A pencil's 'lead' is manufactured from a type of carbon called 'graphite' which is a conductor.
Is carbon a conductor?
yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.
Is a carbon rod an insulator?
A carbon rod may be an insulator or a conductor. It depends on which allotrope of carbon we're talking about. Electricity can travel through a graphite (carbon) rod easily, but it cannot travel through a diamond rod. Both graphite and diamond are carbon, but the former is a conductor while the latter is an insulator.
Is chalk an insulator or an conductor?
insulator.
