Hi buddy.
Here is your answer
Carbon has several allotropes, or different forms in which it can exist. These allotropes include graphite and diamond, which have very different properties. Despite carbon's ability to make 4 bonds and its presence in many compounds, it is highly unreactive under normal conditions.

- Some element occur in nature in more than one form. The chemical properties of these different forms are the same but their physical properties are different.
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon.
- It is an element found in nature.
- Graphite is black, soft and brittle.
- Inside each layer of graphite, free electrons move continuously within the entire layer.
- This movement of free electrons within the layer makes graphite a good conductor of electricity.
- Due to the layered type of structure graphite is used for writing.
- Density of graphite is 1.9 to 2.3 g/cm³
- Graphite does not dissolves in most of the solvents.
