Answer:
- Graphite is a soft, grayish black crystalline allotrope of carbon. In graphite, each carbon atom is attached to three other carbon atoms forming a hexagonal planar structure.
- In graphite, free electrons move throughout the entire hexagonal layers and hence, graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
