Explanation:
Graphite can conduct electricity because of the delocalised (free) electrons in its structure. ... However, in diamond, all 4 outer electrons on each carbon atom are used in covalent bonding, so there are no delocalised electrons.

Answer:
the reason graphite is a good conductor of eletricity bcoz of the presence of delocalised e‐ as the each carbon atoms form 3 covelent bonds with other 3 carbon atom.
diamond is not a good conductor bcoz it is giant structure; each outer shell e‐ of every carbon atoms form a covelent bond which means there r no free electrons .no e‐ means no conductivity of electricity
