Answer:

because graphite does not leave sticky residue that may later attract dust

Answered by sanjna09

Answer:

The greatest benefit to using graphite (rather than oil) is that the graphite leaves no sticky residue that may later attract dust. This is because the lubricating properties of graphite lie in its weak covalent bonds that allow the layers of graphite to “slide” on top of one another with very little resistance.
