Yes, to some degree, in the plane of the rings. It doesn't conduct well perpendicular to them.

Is carbon solid liquid or gas?
There are various forms of solid carbon. Diamonds for instance
Why do solid and liquid metals conduct electricity?
Graphite, an allotrope of carbon, is classified as a semimetal, that is, a material that shares some of the properties of metals. Many other non-metallic materials conduct electricity; including salts, plasma and some polymers.
Is carbon a liquid solid or gas?
if you mean carbondioxide, then it's state is meant to me gas.Answeri think carbon i s gasAnswerthe people above me are fails, carbon is a solid and is a nonmetal. it is able to form strong covalent bond with other carbon hence gives it a high melting point. common carbon is graphite and diamond.
Is a soda can a good conductor of electricity?
Coke is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Cokes from coal are grey, hard, porous, and not considered good at conducting electricity.
Why does aluminum oxide not conduct electricity as a solid?
Sodium Iodide is held together by covelent bonds, therefore no "free" electrons exist which is what makes metals conductive. - Bird.
What minerals are in pencil lead?
Only Carbon - Graphite Its a covalent solid the only one that can conduct electricity
Does graphite conduct electricity?
It in-fact does conduct electricity, molten graphite is a key element in which terrorists use for I.E.D'S it causes a large heat blast when heated with electricity and mixed with different compounds.
Does pencil lead conduct electricity?
Pencil lead (aka graphite) DOES conduct electricity. It does this thanks to electron delocalization within the carbon layers. Since the valence electrons are free to move, they are able to conduct electricity.
Why graphite a nonmetal?
Graphite is a form of the element carbon, which is a nonmetal. While it has a metallic luster and conducts electricity, graphite is brittle. Unlike metals, which are held together by metallic bonds, graphite is a covalent network solid. Other forms of carbon behave more clearly as nonmetals.
Is fermium a metal?
We all know that in solid electrons are carrier of electricity while ions are carrier in liquids.but note that some non-metal can conduct electricity like graphite an allotrope of carbon. Firstly, there are non metals that can conduct electricity (ionic compounds), except they have to be dissolved to do that.
Is graphite a noble gas?
Nope.... graphite is a solid - a form of carbon.
What does this solid carbon become part of?
Solid carbon (C) may be diamond, graphite, coal, carbon black etc.
How can different forms of a solid have different clarities like graphite and diamond?
Although graphite and diamond are both formed from carbon, the physical structure of the electrons for each is different from the other. Diamond atoms are packed more tightly than are atoms in any other mineral, making them (more or less) clear -- there is no response to external stimulus, such as electricity that 'moves' the atoms. Graphite atoms are structured differently, allowing electrons to move: graphite conducts electricity. This makes graphite not clear. Here's a more technical explanation from Wikipedia: "Graphite is able to conduct electricity, due to delocalization of the pi bond electrons above and below the planes of the carbon atoms. These electrons are free to move, so are able to conduct electricity. However, the electricity is only conducted along the plane of the layers. In diamond, all four outer electrons of each carbon atom are 'localised' between the atoms in covalent bonding. The movement of electrons is restricted and diamond does not conduct an electric current. In graphite, each carbon atom uses only 3 of its 4 outer energy level electrons in covalently bonding to three other carbon atoms in a plane. Each carbon atom contributes one electron to a delocalised system of electrons that is also a part of the chemical bonding. The delocalised electrons are free to move throughout the plane. For this reason, graphite conducts electricity along the planes of carbon atoms, but does not conduct in a direction at right angles to the plane."
Does calcium bromide conduct electricity?
Calcium bromide is an ionic solid, in the solid state it does not conduct electricity. Solutions do conduct, as does the melt.
Is carbon solid liquid or gas?
There are various forms of solid carbon. Diamonds for instance
Diamonds and graphite are examples of what solid?
Diamonds and graphite are both allotropes of carbon.
Does carbon tetrachloride conduct electricity when a solid?
Carbon tetrachloride is prepared by the action of chlorine on carbon disulphide in the presence of iodine, which acts as a catalyst. It is slightly conductive.
