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.
yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.
insulator
Insulator
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.
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 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.
carboon is a insulator,bt isomers of carbon graphite is a conductor.
No, it's a conductor.
A pencil's 'lead' is manufactured from a type of carbon called 'graphite' which is a conductor.
yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.
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.
