The movement of electrons is restricted and diamond does not conduct an electric current. In graphite, each carbon atom uses only 3 of its 4 outer energy level electrons in covalently bonding to three other carbon atoms in a plane. ... Graphite is the most stable allotrope of carbon.
Because graphite is good conductor of electricity and have free electron
