Some are. Graphite, for example, conducts at least moderately well in the plane of the rings, but not very well in the perpendicular direction.
Graphite, which is a form of carbon, is a non-metal that can conduct electricity due to its unique structure that allows electrons to move freely through its layers.
Some materials that can conduct electricity include metals such as copper, silver, and aluminum, as well as carbon in the form of graphite. Conductivity is based on the availability of free electrons within the material to carry electric current.
Carbon tetracarbonyl (C₄O₄) is a covalent compound and does not have free ions or electrons that can move to conduct electricity. In its liquid state, it remains a non-electrolyte, meaning it cannot conduct electricity. Therefore, carbon tetracarbonyl cannot conduct electricity when liquid.

Generally, molecular covalent substances do not conduct electricity. Carbon as graphite is the exception. This is because they are neutrally charged; they do not have ions or delocalized electrons as these are being shared by the non-metals. Yet some conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This is because some react with water to produce ions which are attracted to the oppositely charged electrodes.
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.

yes
Carbon by itself is not a good conductor of electricity because its electrons are tightly bound and not free to move to carry electrical charges. In contrast, metals have "free" electrons that can move easily through the material, allowing them to conduct electricity effectively. However, carbon can conduct heat well due to its lattice structure that allows vibrations to pass through.
Graphene, graphite, and some carbon nanotubes can all conduct electricity.
No, Graphite is also a conductor which is non metal (carbon) other conductors are electrolytes, these are the compounds which become ionized in water and conduct the electricity.
Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity. Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity.
Yes, carbon in coal can make it conductive due to its ability to conduct electricity. The carbon content in coal allows it to conduct electricity when a voltage is applied across it.
Various non-metals can conduct electricity, such as graphite. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon, and it has one electron per carbon atom that is delocalized and not involved in chemical bonding, thus it can carry electric charges. Other non-metallic materials like semi-conductors can also conduct electricity to various degrees. Molten and aqueous ionic compounds like sodium chloride also conduct electricity.
