Question

9. Name the property of graphite that makes it an
exceptional non-metal.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Graphite is a form of carbon which is an element. In graphite, the carbon atoms are joined together and arranged in layers. The links between the carbon atoms in the layer are strong, but the links between the layers are weak. The layers easily slip over each other. That's why graphite in a pencil is soft and you can see a mark when you write with it on paper.

Graphite is a non-metal and it is the only non-metal that can conduct electricity. You can find non-metals on the right side of the periodic table where you will find that graphite is the only non-metal that is a good conductor of electricity. Hence, It’s property to conduct electricity makes it an exceptional non metal.

Hope it helps.
