Graphite is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. Graphite can withstand extremely high temperatures and is not affected by majority of reagents and acids. This property gives graphite uses which are unique and peculiar.
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
Tt depends on the metal which is the cathode and which is the anode. However, in most cases, graphite is the cathode and the metal is the anode. the strictly correct answer is that BOTH the metal and the graphite rod are electrodes. You must have two electrodes minimum to create a cell.
Metal can stick to graphite due to a phenomenon called adhesion, where two surfaces come into contact and create intermolecular forces that hold them together. In this case, van der Waals forces between the atoms of the metal and the graphite can cause them to stick together. Additionally, the rough surface of graphite can provide more contact points for the metal, further enhancing the adhesion.
nonmetal, because it is a form of carbon and carbon is a nonmetal.
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

Graphite is a form of carbon.
Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
Graphite is the only non-metal exception that can conduct electricity. Hence, even though graphite is a non-metal, it is used in batteries.
graphite is a form of carbon that forms in layers which is why it is able to be used in pencils, because the layers can slide off and get left on the page. Anyway carbon is a non-metal so graphite is a non-metal.
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
