Solution

Nonmetals are those chemical elements that generally do not conduct electricity or heat and display a non-lustrous property. Carbon (C) and Silicon (Si) are two examples of nonmetals.

Graphite is a nonmetal that acts as a conductor of electricity. It is an allotrope of carbon (C), that is, a distinct form of carbon. Graphite is also referred to as a non-metallic conductor.
