what means pi electrons in chemistry
which is present in graphite
Answers
Answer:
There are not exactly pie bonds in graphite. Graphite has a sheet layered structure in which a carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms and as a result a sheet of hexagonal shaped structures is formed
So, actually a carbon can form four bonds but here, it has made only 3.
The extra electron is just a free electron. We can say that the fourth electron is delocalised in the structure. In the whole sheet layered structure, that electron is free to roam around.
This is the reason that graphite is a good conductor of electricity.

Explanation:
➡️An electron which resides in the pi bond(s) of a double bond or a triple bond, or in a conjugated p orbital. The allyl carbanion has four pi electrons.
➡️ Graphite, also called plumbago or black lead, mineral consisting of carbon. Graphite has a layered structure that consists of rings of six carbon atoms arranged in widely spaced horizontal sheets.
