Graphite is a type of crystalline solid known as a covalent network solid. It consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, with strong covalent bonds within the layers and weaker van der Waals forces between them. This structure gives graphite its characteristic properties, such as electrical conductivity and lubricity. The layers can easily slide over one another, making graphite useful as a lubricant and in pencil leads.
