GRAPHITE IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY.
IN GRAPHITE EACH CARBON IS BONDED TO THREE OTHER CARBON ATOM IN SUCH A WAY THAT A HEXAGONAL LAYERED STRUCTURE IS FORMED.
DUE TO THIS STRUCTURE, GRAPHITE HAS FREE ELECTRONS AVAILABLE.
THESE FREE ELECTRONS MOVE CONTINUOUSLY WITHIN THE ENTIRE LAYER.
HENCE GRAPHITE IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY.
