why does graphite conduct electricity?

Answers (1)

best_answer

Graphite contains layers of carbon atoms. The layers slide over each other easily because there are only weak van der Waals forces between them, making graphite slippery. Graphite contains delocalised electrons (free electrons). These electrons can move through the graphite, carrying charge from place to place and allowing graphite to conduct electricity
