Hi, Here is your answer

======================

Graphite is soft and slippery because there are only weak intermolecular forces between its layers. Graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity. This is because, like metals, graphite contains delocalised(free) electrons. These electrons are free to move through the structure of the graphite.

Hope it is helpful.....

  • Three strong covalent connections connect each carbon atom to its layer.
  • The delocalized (free) electrons in graphite's structure allow it to conduct electricity.
  • Carbon exists in only one 'allotropic form,' graphite. One valence shell of each carbon atom remains available in a graphite structure.
  • Graphite may conduct electricity based on free electrons in its structure. As a result, graphite is known to be a good electrical conductor.
  • Diamond, on the other hand, has no free mobile electron. That is why diamond is a poor conductor of electricity.
