Which allotrope of carbon is considered a decent conductor of electricity?

Graphite is considered a decent conductor of electricity among the allotropes of carbon due to its structure that allows free movement of electrons between its stacked layers.


Are carbon good conductor of heat?

no its is only condutor of eletricity


Which non metal is good conductor of electricity?

Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.


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.


Why is graphite considered to be an allotrope of carbon?

Because it is an allotrope of carbon. It is a different structural form of the element carbon having a rather flat lattice structure that tends to be in sheets.


Why is a dimond important?

The diamond allotrope of carbon is important because it is very hard and a good conductor of heat.


Does carbon have good conductivity?

yes because that is why batteries contain carbon


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.


What allotrope does diamonds use?

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.


Which is the allotrope of carbon discovered in 2010?

Graphite is an allotrope of what element?

Diamond, graphite and carbon black are the most common allotropes of CARBON


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.
