Explanation:

All the carbon atoms of Diamond are said to possess strong chemical bonds with that of the four other carbon atoms, thus making a perfect tetrahedron structure and on throughout the crystal. The carbon atoms, here are sp3 hybridized, and the bond lengths of carbon-carbon atom are equal. Hence Diamond forms a three-dimensional network of strong covalent bonds.

Diamond has a very high melting point of about 3843 K and a high density of about 3.51 g/cm3. It is known to be a poor conductor of electricity since its valence electrons get involved in C-C sigma covalent bonds, and hence they are localized and are not free to conduct the electricity.
