Question

Why is graphite a good conductor of electricity? Give 2 uses of the same

Answer 1

In a graphite molecule, one valence electron of each carbon atom remains free, Thus making graphite a good conductor of electricity. Whereas in diamond, they have no free mobile electron. Hence there won't be flow of electrons That is the reason behind diamond are bad conductor electricity.

Uses :

• Graphite is used in pencils and lubricants.

• It is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

• Its high conductivity makes it useful in electronic products such as electrodes, batteries, and solar panels.

hope it helps !!

Answer 2

Good conducted in the lead
