Answer 2

For diamond the forbidden energy gap is approx equal to 6 eV. Then diamond is:

Explanation:

• Diamond has a very wide bandgap of 5.6 electron volts.
• It is a strong electrical insulator that electrons do not go through readily.

• All the four electrons present in the outer shell on each carbon atom are used in diamond.
• So there are no delocalized electrons present and thus makes the diamond an insulator.
