covalent
Graphite is made of pure carbon atoms. The bond between the C atoms is called a covalent bond.
Graphite consists of covalent bonding within the layers of carbon atoms, while the layers are held together by weak van der Waals forces.
A carbon composition resistor is made from a compound of carbon graphite and resin bonding material. This type of resistor has a cylindrical shape and is used for applications requiring high stability and low noise levels.

Metallic bonding involves delocalised electrons, which can transfer heat and electricity across the metal. Also, graphite and benzene contains delocalised electrons.
Graphite exhibits covalent bonding within its layers, where each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms in a planar hexagonal arrangement. This creates strong covalent bonds that give graphite its stability and strength. Between the layers, there are weak van der Waals forces, allowing the layers to slide over one another, which is why graphite is slippery and used as a lubricant and in pencil lead.
Graphite only forms 3 covalent bonds and is arranged in layers so the layers can slide over each other easily.
This depends very much on the type of graphite.
Graphite has low shear strength due to its laminar lattice structure and weak bonding between the layers which allow graphite to slip in layers resulting in low shear strength. - Dr. Aditi Kulshrestha
covalent bonding
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
