Electrical conductivity in solids depends on the availability of free charge carriers (electrons or ions). In most non-metals, electrons are tightly bound, preventing electrical conduction.
Non-metals are generally bad conductor of electricity. However, among the following non- metals, which is/are good conductor(s)? I. Sulphur II. Fluorine III. Diamond IV. Graphite Choose the correct answer from the following :
