IN GRAPHITE THERE IS 1 FREE ELECTRON WHEREAS DIAMOND HAS NO FREE ELECTRONS. SO, WHY GRAPHITE CONDUCT ELECTRICITY.

alishakha: Diamond is a bad conductor of electricity as it does not have free electrons

YadavShashi: Yes!!

alishakha: Thanks

archanaunni2003: Thanku..

YadavShashi: DIAMOND HAS NO FREE ELECTRON THAT'S WHY IT IS BAD CONDUCTER OF ELECTRICITY

alishakha: Yeah I know that

Answered by daksh63

graphite and diamond both are the allotrops of carbon.
diamond has hedragonal structure in which each carbon atom is joined with four carbon atoms so there is no free electron to conduct electricity.
but graphite has flat hexagonal structure I. which each carbon atom is joined with 3carbon atom so it has free electrons and hence conduct electricity...
hope it helps..

alishakha: Nice well done this is a good answer right

archanaunni2003: yes!!

daksh63: thanx
