Diamond is a bad conductor of electricity because its bonding electrons are used in
crystal lattice formation
covalent bond formation
metallic bond formation
coordinate bond formation
Vysvětlení
Diamond is a covalent macromolecule, and typical of a covalent substance is an insulator. All valence electrons are localized in well-defined covalent bonds and hence are not free to move through the structure
