There are weak forces of attraction between layers, so one electron from each carbon atom can be de-localised(moved), which allows graphite to conduct heat and electricity.

Is graphite a conductor or insulator?
Graphite is a conductor of electricity, but its conductivity varies greatly with direction: Conduction is high along the plane of the sheets of carbon atoms found in a single crystal of graphite, but much lower perpendicular to this plane.
Which nonmetal is a conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
Is sulfur a better conductor than carbon?
No, carbon in the form of graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Sulfur is not an electrical conductor.
What is the only non metal that is a good electrical conductor?
Carbon in the form of graphite is used as an electrical conductor (the brushes in electric motors)
Is sulfur conductor?
No. Sulfur is a nonmetal and is not a conductor of heat or electricity.
What nonmetal is a conductor of electricity?
Graphite is one!
Why is graphite a poor conductor of electricity at high temperatures?
Carbon is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a nonmetal, which in general are poor conductors of electricity. However it should be noted that, graphite, an allotrope of carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
Is graphite a good conductor of heat?
Yes, graphite is a good conductor of heat .
Is graphite good conductor?
yes! graphite is a good conducter
Why graphite is good conductor of electricity while diamond is not?
Graphite is a good conductor of electricity beacause graphite is sp-2 hybirdize orbit
Which nonmetal is a good conductor of electricity?
Graphite. You might have come across experiments using a pencil to complete a simple circuit to check if a bulb glows and you might have observed that it does. The graphite in the lead of the pencil is what helps conduct electricity.
What non-metal is a good conductor?
Graphite
What is a form of carbon that is a good conductor?
It is graphite.
Why is graphite used in the halt heroult process?
as graphite is a good conductor of electricity...........
Is graphite a conductor or insulator?
Graphite is a conductor of electricity, but its conductivity varies greatly with direction: Conduction is high along the plane of the sheets of carbon atoms found in a single crystal of graphite, but much lower perpendicular to this plane.
Is a good heat conductor a metal or nonmetal?
Metal
Why graphite is good conductor of heat?
Granite is a good conductor of heat because it has free electrons.
