Hey mate here is ur answer
Graphite is soft and slippery because there are only weak intermolecular forces between its layers. Graphite is agood conductor of heat and electricity. This is because, like metals, graphitecontains delocalised(free) electrons. These electrons are free to move through the structure of the graphite.

Graphite is soft and a good conductor of electricity. It's exceptional properties are due to its typical structure.
Carbon atoms are arranged in different layers and each atom is covalently bonded to three of its neighbouring atoms in the same layer. The fourth valence electron of each atom is present between different layers and is free to move about. So therefore these free electrons makes graphite a good conductor of electricity.
