Explanation:
Diamond is very hard due to the strong covalent bonds and rigid tetrahedral 3d arrangement. It does not conduct electricity, as there are no electrons free to move and carry charge. It has a high melting point and boiling point as much energy is needed to break the many strong covalent bonds.
