Graphite (an allotrope of carbon) and graphene does conduct electricity whilst other allotropes of carbon such as diamond do not.

Is carbon a conductor?

yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.


Does silicon carbide conduct electricity?

Does it have a Photovoltaic affect? Ive seen this in a pdf . Diamond Gives off a charge when rubbed "Carbon" and silicon makes electricity in the sun. So I think the conduct electricity. They however have large resistance to electricity and produce extreme heat eg Atkinson Furnace Carbon electrodes and Silicon used in pc components and electrical devices like resistors.So combining them should conduct electricity Jono


Is carbon an insulator or a conductor?

It depends on the type, or allotrope, of carbon you're talking about. For a material to conduct electricity, it should have free electrons to carry the electrical current. In diamond, an allotrope of carbon, there are no such free electrons. This means that diamond does not conduct electricity. However, graphite, another allotrope of carbon, conducts electricity very well because it has an entire "sea" of free electrons.


Does methanol conduct electricity?

No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.


Do carbon nanotubes conduct electricity?

Yes, carbon nanotubes can conduct electricity due to their unique structure which allows for excellent electron transport. They are considered to be one of the best conductive materials known, with properties similar to metals.
