Answer:
Because of free electrons
Explanation:
Each carbon atom in graphite forms covalent bonds to only three carbon atoms. Therefore, out of the four valence electrons in a carbon atom, only three are used for bonding and the fourth is relatively free and can move from one carbon atom to the other. These free electrons make graphite a good conductor of electricity.
