Solution

The correct option is B False
  • When it comes to the layered structure of graphite, there are a high number of delocalized electrons (free electrons) present which enables the electricity to pass through graphite easily, hence makes graphite an excellent conductor.
  • Graphite being a good conductor is used in electrodes in batteries for electrolysis.

Thus, the given statement is False. Graphite is not used as a semiconductor.
