Question

explain why graphite is used as a lubricant

Answer 1

The layers slide over each other easily because there are only weak forces between them, making graphite slippery. Graphite contains delocalised electrons (free electrons). These electrons can move through the graphite, carrying charge from place to place and allowing graphite to conduct electricity.

Answer 2

Explanation:

${ \huge{ \texttt{ \fcolorbox{lightgreen}{black}{Aɳʂɯҽr}}}}$

• Graphite is used as a lubricant due to its slippery nature.
• Due to its loosely intact carbon atoms or free electrons, they can move around easily from one place to another, making graphite a good conductor of electricity.
