Graphite is a good conductor of electricity.

Answer» (i) Graphite is an crystalline allotrope of carbon.
(ii) In its structure, each carbon is attached to three other carbon atoms, forming a hexagonal planar structure.
(iii), These hexagonal rings form layer on one another. Thus, in graphite many free electrons move throughout the entire layers,
(iv) These free electrons help in conduction of electricity,
(v) Hence, graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
