why do diamonds conduct heat?

A diamond is basiclly a clear depending lump of coal it is 100% carbon and carbon is not a good conductor of electricity but is heat since it does burn easily and that is mixed with other elements so imagine 100% pure carbon
CUTEBARBIE:
plz mark brainlest
i dont think so
carbon is neither a conductor of heat nor electricity
um, the answerer got confused between combustion and conduction oh heat?
i guess so
even burning diamond is very difficult because of its bond
I guess that huge answer basically means to say that in diamond, unlike metals the conduction of heat is not due to vibrations of electrons but due to some lattice vibrations
see diamonds at 800 degree celcius burn to give out carbon dioxide

❥In diamond, heat is conducted by the lattice vibrations (phonons), which have a high velocity and frequency, due to the strong bonding between the carbon atoms and the high symmetry of the lattice. ... As discussed below in the next answer, adding impurity atoms (dopants) can make diamond electrically conductive.
