Which of the following statements about graphite is false?
It is the most stable form of carbon.
It is used as a lubricant.
It is a good conductor of electricity.
It is formed under high pressure and temperature conditions.
Graphite is not formed under high pressure and temperature conditions, but rather is a naturally occurring mineral that forms from the metamorphism of organic materials such as coal. It is the most stable form of carbon and is used in a variety of applications, including as a lubricant and as an electrode material. Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
Option (1) is incorrect because graphite is the most stable form of carbon and is used in a variety of applications, including as a lubricant and as an electrode material. Hence option 1 is incorrect.
Option (2) is incorrect because graphite is the most stable form of carbon and is used in a variety of applications, including as a lubricant and as an electrode material. Hence option 2 is incorrect.
Option (3) is incorrect because graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Hence option 3 is incorrect.
