    Which of the following does not show electrical conduction?

    A)  diamond         

    B)         graphite             

    C)         sodium          

    D)         potassium.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Potassium and Sodium are metals so have mobile electrons. In graphite, each of the C-atom is covalently bonded to three other C-atoms so one valence electron is available for electrical and thermal conduction there is no mobile electron present in diamond as each C-atom is bonded to four other C-atoms by covalent bond.
