Graphite is an allotrope of carbon having a hexagonal structure.

Under standard conditions, it is the most stable form of carbon.

It contains about 90-95% of carbon.

It can be also referred as plumbago.

Its density is 2.09–2.23 g/cm³.

It is also ‎strongly anisotropic.

There are sp² orbital hybrids present in graphite.
