Because it is small in volume. It can form four bonds. It can form long chains
Graphite is a form of the element Carbon (C).

Salt (NaCl) Diamond (pure carbon) Silicon (Si) Sugar
Pure carbon is one kind of element, which is one kind of pure substance.There are several materials that are formed from pure carbon, including:graphiteDiamond. Diamond is elemental carbon that has been exposed to high pressure and temperature for prolonged periods to form the crystal diamond carbon nanotubes(See the links below for other allotropes of carbon)Anthracite coal is nearly pure carbon.
Carbon has the ability to make 4 bonds, which allow it to form long chains.

s sp1 sp2 sp3 These are the hybridized orbitals that carbon will form.
Carbon can form many different structures for a few reasons. One reason is that carbon can form up to four single bonds, two double bonds, or a triple bond and a single bond. This gives versatility in its bonding. Additionally, carbon forms very stable carbon-carbon bonds, which allows for the creation of elaborate structures. Most other elements do not exhibit this stability. Thus, carbon forms the widest variety of structures.

For most terrestrial plants, nearly all the carbon comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For aquatic plants, the carbon comes form carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.
Catenation and tetravalency are the properties. Because of this, carbon forms long complex structure.
Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).
Carbon and Chlorine form polarized covalent bonds
sulfites
Indeed they can. A common example of Carbon covalently bonding with carbon is in what we refer to as Giant Covalent Structures, which are multiple of an atom bonded together in a set, lattice-like shape. Examples of giant covalent structures made from carbon are diamond where the atoms are arranged in a pyramid shape, and graphite, where they are arranged in flat layers.
