Explanation:
hey!!
Carbon has a valency of 4. In graphite, each carbon atoms 3 electrons are strongly bonded to other carbon atoms forming a hexagonal structure while one of the electrons of graphite is loosely bound and can thus conduct electricity.
In diamond, each carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms forming a tetrahedral structure and has no free or loosely bound electrons. Thus diamond cannot conduct electricity.
hope, this will help u ..☺☺
soory, if wrong ..♥️♥️

Explanation:
Yes, in a graphite molecule, one valence electron of each carbon atom remains free, Rhus making graphite a good conductor of electricity due to the property of CATANATION and TETRAVALENCY.
