Graphite consists of stacked sheets of carbon atoms. Between each pair of sheets is a 'sea' of electrons, which are able to flow through the graphite, thus conducting electricity.

What special property does the non-metal graphite have?
it is lustrous and a good conductor of heat and electricity, as most other non-metals are not. ---------- Some properties of graphite: - anisotropy - hexagonal rhombohedral crystalline structure (for the non-amorphous graphite) - low hardness (1 to 2, Mohs scale) - black color - density: 2-2,25 g/cm3 - practically insoluble - has lubricating property - graphite has many forms, natural or artificial
Sulfur is a bad conductor of what?
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
What is non-conductive?
a conductor is a thing where electricity can move through or very easy like metal and a non conductor is a thing where electricity can't move through or very hard like wood or plastic
What type of conductor is cobalt?
Cobalt, being a good metal, conducts both heat and electricity better than non-metals.
Why is sulfur a good conductor of electricity?
It's not a good conductor of electricity or heat, like most other non-metals.
What is the only non metal which is good conductor of heat and electricity?
Graphite
Which non metal is good conductor of electricity?
Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.
An element that is a non-metal but conductor of electricity?
Silicon or Germanium Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor
Give the name of one non-metal which is a good conductor of electricity?
graphite
Where is grapite found?
In nature, graphite is found as flake, vein, or amorphous form. Graphite is polymorph of carbon. Graphite is a non-metal that is a conductor of electricity.
What is a non-metal conductor?
Graphite
Which non metals are good conductor of electricity?
name two non metal are good conducter
What non-metal is a good conductor?
Graphite
Is nonmetals a semiconductors?
Graphite is a non metal conductor.
Which is non metallic element which is a conductor of electricity?
graphite
What special property does the non-metal graphite have?
it is lustrous and a good conductor of heat and electricity, as most other non-metals are not. ---------- Some properties of graphite: - anisotropy - hexagonal rhombohedral crystalline structure (for the non-amorphous graphite) - low hardness (1 to 2, Mohs scale) - black color - density: 2-2,25 g/cm3 - practically insoluble - has lubricating property - graphite has many forms, natural or artificial
Why graphite is used in battery?
Graphite is the only non-metal exception that can conduct electricity. Hence, even though graphite is a non-metal, it is used in batteries.
