Question

Describe the structure of Graphite.

Answer 1

1. Graphite is an allotrope of Carbon in which the Carbon atoms are arranged in flat parallel layers.
2. And there is the covalent bonding of each Carbon atom of the flat layer to three other Carbon atoms.
3. Thus, the structure forms a network of six-Carbon rings.
4. And the fourth valence of each Carbon atom present in the graphite can move freely.
5. The structure of Graphite is,
