Question

Draw and describe the structure of graphite. Also give some of its properties and uses.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

has a high melting point, similar to that of diamond. ...

has a soft, slippery feel, and is used in pencils and as a dry lubricant for things like locks. ...

has a lower density than diamond. ...

is insoluble in water and organic solvents - for the same reason that diamond is insoluble.
