Correct question
Why graphite is a good conductor of electricity?
Answer
Graphite is the one ‘allotropic form’ of carbon. In a graphite molecule, one valence electron of each carbon atom remains free. Due to the free electrons in its framework, graphite can perform electricity.Therefore, graphite is said to be a good conductor of electricity. Whereas in diamond, they have no free mobile electron. That’s why diamond are bad conductor electricity.
