Graphite

• Carbon atoms form 3 covalent bonds with 3 other atoms forming layers of hexagonal rings which have no covalent bonds between the layers.
• It is soft and slippery- the layers slide over eachother easily beacaue of the weak forces of attraction between the layers are easily broken.
• It can conduct electricity- the only non-metal to do so. One elecetron form each atom is delicalised.
