Answer:

Graphite is a conductor of electricity because of the presence of delocalised electrons as each carbon atom forms only three covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms.

Answer:

  1. 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.
  2. In graphite, free electrons move throughout the entire hexagonal layers and hence, graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
