Network solid
First, graphite is not a compound, it is an allotrope of elemental carbon. The conductivity of graphite is due to a property call resonance. In a covalent doublt bond there are two types of bond: a sigma bond and a pi bond. In some substances a bond has resonance where a pi bond is delocalized, spanning three or more atoms, creating a bond that is somewhere in between a single bond and a double bond. In graphite, all the bonds, which are all linked with one another, have this resonance. As a result, the electrons of the pi bonds are free to mopve throuout the entire covalent network.
Yes, it is a covalent crystal.
It differes from normal covalent bondings because it has high melting and boiling points. And also because it conducts electricity.
graphite is amorphous.
That's right.
