Graphite's structure consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal lattices. Within each layer, carbon atoms are covalently bonded. However, there are delocalized electrons that are not tightly bound to specific atoms but are free to move throughout the layers. This mobility of electrons allows graphite to conduct electricity.
Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to
