Q
Graphite
A
Weak intermolecular forces between layers = slippery = lubricant
Delocalised electron = free to move carries a charge = electrical conductor
Layers far apart = low density = lightweight
Strong covalent bonds =high melting long
Insoluble
2

A
4 carbon structure very hard
High melting point
Thermal conductor
