Graphite is not a metal.
When the conductor between two contacts is a non-conductive material such as air, the circuit is open. WHen the conductor between two contacts is a conductive material such as graphite or ferrous metal, it is closed.
Graphite itself is pure carbon. But it might be possible for some samples of graphite to contain impurities of lead.
Yes, graphite is conductive when molten due to its structure. In its solid form, graphite consists of layers of carbon atoms that allow electrons to move freely, enabling electrical conductivity. When melted, these layers break down, but the delocalized electrons still facilitate conductivity. Therefore, molten graphite retains its conductive properties.
its not a metal,it is a metalloid (or semi metal) and yes it is conductive
No, colored pencils typically cannot conduct current as they are made of graphite or other non-conductive materials. Conductive materials like metal are needed to allow electricity to flow through them.
Using tracks of metal such as on a PCB (printed circuit board) or using other electrically conductive material such as the graphite in 'lead' pencils.
Silver is the most electrically conductive metal.
Yes, osmium is a metal and is conductive.
Graphite, which is a form of carbon, is the most conductive non-metal material. It has the ability to conduct electricity due to its unique structure that allows electrons to move freely along its layers.

Graphite is a form of carbon.
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
