But in diamond, each carbon atom is covalently bonded with four other carbon atoms and there are no free electrons.
Diamond is a good conductor of heat as in diamond each carbon atom is tetrahedrally bonded to other carbon atoms. All the electrons are close together due to a strong bond between the atoms causing vibrations. Thus making it a good conductor of heat.
It does not have free electrons So it is bad conducter of heat &electricity.

Here is your answer
➡Diamond and graphite both are allotropes.
➡But graphite is good conductor of electricity
while diamond is not because-
Diamond does not have free electrons.
Inside each layer of graphite free electrons
move continuously within the entire layer
⚡ Hope this helps you ⚡
