Diamond is a bad conductor of electricity because its bonding electrons are used in
A
crystal lattice formation
B
covalent bond formation
C
metallic bond formation
D
coordinate bond formation
correct option: b
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
