Blue diamonds do not conduct electricity. Diamonds do, however, conduct heat, in fact five times better than silver.
Both diamonds and graphite are produced naturally from carbon. Diamond is an excellent electrical insulator, graphite is a good conductor of electricity.

What do we Materials that do not conduct electricity?
Materials that do not conduct electricity are an insulator.
Does money conduct electricity?
All metal coins conduct electricity. Some paper money can conduct electricity in parts of them.
Why can't glass conduct electricity?
Everything can conduct electricity. However, glass can only conduct electricity on a very small scale, so it cannot be used to conduct enough electricity to run anything electrical.
What is a science fair project name for what materials conduct electricity?
The conduct of electricity
Why can conductors conduct electricity?
Conductors conduct electricity because they have free electrons.
What is the best way to spot a fake diamond?
Diamonds conduct electricity and a diamond probe can confirm that the stone does not conduct electricity, so it is not a diamond.
Why does diamond not conduct electricity?
Most diamonds are not conductors, they are rather good insulators of electricity. The one exception is blue diamond, which is blue due to the addition of boron being included in the crystal lattice (normally, occasionally an excess of hydrogen can turn them blue as well but rare). The boron allows it to become a p-conductor, and thus it will conduct electricity. Note that one way to tell a real (boron doped) blue diamond from say a white diamond that has been colored blue (by irradiation, coating, etc), is to see if it will conduct electricity.
Will an artificial diamond conduct electricity?
No.
Can diamond conduct electricity at its solid state?
no
Why do carbons not conduct electricity?
Graphite and diamond are good electricity conductors.
Does carbon conduct electricity?
Graphite (an allotrope of carbon) and graphene does conduct electricity whilst other allotropes of carbon such as diamond do not.
Why current pass through graphite but not diamond?
Because it has mobile electrons while diamond has no mobile electrons.add Blue diamonds will conduct electricity, and this is caused by the impurity boron, which aids electron transfer.
Can diamond be tested scientifically?
Yes. Diamonds conduct electricity, and can be tested by using a probe.
Is diamond a semiconductor or not?
Diamonds conduct heat and electricity: this is the property tested by diamond probes. And in the technology sense of semiconductor, diamond is too expensive to be used for this purpose.
Do diamonds conduct electricity?
they don't conduct electricity: they have no free electrons. graphite, however, made of the same stuff as diamond (carbon) has a different structure, which means that it does have free electrons, and a lot of them. Therefore graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Which element is most likely to conduct heat and electricity?
Diamond,Silver and Copper.
Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
