Front Properties, Structure and Bonding of Graphite
Back - High melting point.
- Only 3/4 of outer electrons used in bonds so 1 free electron to conduct electricity.
- No covalent bonds between layers - held together weakly - makes if soft and slippery.
- Each atoms forms 3 covalent bonds - sheets of atoms in hexagons.
