Graphite has sheet structure with each carbon atom sourrounded by 3 other equidistant carbon atoms with a bond angle of 120 0
The carbon atoms are bonded together by sigma bonds, each carbon having 3. In addition there is a pi bond, fully delocalised above and below the plane of the sheet. You could consider that there is one pi bond per carbon to make up the octet and that in valence bond theory terms there is resonance which gives rise to a fully delocalised electrons which give rise to electrical conductivity and the black colour.

How many sigma bonds in propene?
there are 6 sigma bonds in a benzene ring Correction: There are 6 sigma carbon-carbon bonds...but there are also 6 carbon-hydrogen sigma bonds. Thus there are twelve sigma bonds in a benzene ring.
How many types of bonds present in ethane?
Only sigma bonds are present in ethane. There is one carbon-carbon sigma bond and six carbon-hydrogen sigma bonds in C2H6.
How many bonds does carbon make with oxygen in carbon dioxide?
Carbon makes four bonds with oxygen in carbon dioxide.
How many sigma and pi bonds are in C2H2 in which the two carbons are in the center and each carbon has one hydrogen bonded to it?
3 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds. C2H2 (ethyne or acetylene) HCCH, has 2 sigma bonds between the carbon atoms and the terminal hydrogen atoms, these are single bonds. Between the carbon atoms there is one sigma bond and two pi bonds, making this a triple bond.
How many double bonds in a carbon molecule?
There are two double bonds in a carbon dioxide molecule.
