what is graphide and what are the property of graphide
Answers
Graphite
It is also a pure form of carbon. This allotrope of carbon is composed of flat two-dimensional layers of carbon atoms which are arranged hexagonally. It is a soft, black and slippery solid. This property of graphite persists because it cleaves easily between the layers.
ᴘʀᴏᴘᴇʀᴛɪᴇs ᴏғ ɢʀᴀᴘʜɪᴛᴇ:
❥Since the layers are stacked over each other, this carbon allotrope can act as a lubricant.
❥It also has metallic lustre which helps in the conduction of electricity.
❥It is a very good conductor of both heat and electricity.
❥One of the most important properties of graphite is that it is used as a dry lubricant for machines at high temperature where we cannot use oil.
❥Graphite is used to make crucibles which have the property that they are inert to dilute acids as well as to alkalis.
