Diamond is insoluble in water. It does not conduct electricity. Every atom in a diamond is bonded to its neighbours by four strong covalent bonds, leaving no free electrons and no ions.

Answer:
Each carbon atom in diamond is linked to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral geometry leaving no free electrons for the conduction of electricity. Hence, diamond does not conduct electricity.
