Why graphite conducts electricity
Oct 14, 2022| Why graphite conducts electricity
The graphite conducts electricity for the following reasons:
Graphite is a layered structure, which interacts with each other by van der Waals force between layers. It has the characteristics of molecular crystals. In the layer, carbon interacts with carbon by covalent bonds, which has the characteristics of atomic crystals. Graphite belongs to mixed crystals; The electrons on a 2p orbital on each carbon atom in the graphite crystal that does not participate in hybridization move out of the region in the layer, that is, there are free moving electrons in the graphite, so the graphite can conduct electricity.
