In what forms is graphite found?
Graphite appears naturally in three forms: amorphous, which is the last stage of the coalification process; crystalline flake, which is used in brake linings and pencils; and lump, used mostly in batteries
What is the cleavage of graphite?
graphite breaks by cleavage because the bonds between its atoms are less strong in directions
Why do you write with graphite?
Graphite is a common material used in pencils because it leaves a mark easily on paper, is non-toxic, and can be easily erased. It also allows for varying degrees of hardness, which affects the darkness and smoothness of the marks.
What form of pure carbon pure carbon when layers slide past one another?
Graphite. In graphite, carbon atoms are arranged in layers that can slide past one another easily due to weak van der Waals forces between the layers. This property gives graphite its lubricating and writing qualities.
What is the brittleness of graphite?
Graphite is known to be brittle, meaning it is prone to breaking or shattering when subjected to mechanical stress. This brittleness is due to the layered structure of graphite, where the layers can easily slide past each other, leading to cleavage and fractures under pressure.
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 are differences between charcoal pencil and graphite pencil?
Graphite is denser than charcoal, and not as easily smudged.
Is graphite flammable?
Graphite is not flammable because it is a form of carbon that does not easily react with oxygen to ignite or burn.
What is the cleavage of graphite?
graphite breaks by cleavage because the bonds between its atoms are less strong in directions
What is the mineral used in pencils?
graphite
How does the bonding of Graphite explain Graphite's lubricanting properties?
Graphite only forms 3 covalent bonds and is arranged in layers so the layers can slide over each other easily.
