Why is diamond a good of heat like metals but a bad conductor of electricity unlike metals?

this is due to the fact that diamond has perfect lattice structure which helps it to conduct heat but due to the absence of free electrons it cannot conduct electricity. there are two modes to conduct heat :1) thraugh free electron transfer 2) thraugh lattice vibration .in diamond lattice vibration is dominant. for further study read conduction heat tranfer .


Does niobium conduct electricity?

Neodymium does conduct electricity. It's conductivity, however is about 1/50th that of copper, which makes it a fairly poor conductor as far as metals are concerned. Not all magnetic substances conduct, however. Ferrite for example is an iron ceramic compound which allows it to be magnetized, even as an insulator.
