Graphite is a good conductor of electricity.However it is classified as non metals. Give three points to support your statement

Answer 1

Yes it is true that graphite is a good conductor of electricity. It is classified as non-metals.

1. Most of the metals are good conductor of heat and electricity.

2. Generally non metals are poor conductor of heat and electricity.

In both these cases the metals allow and the non metals do not allow thermal and electrical conductivity.

3. All non-metals have exceptions and in this case graphite is the exception.

Graphite is a good conductor of electricity and used for making pencils and batteries.
