- Graphite
- Layered Structure
- Weak intermolecular forces between the layers
- the layers can slide over each other making graphite slippery
- Graphite in pencils leave
the black mark as it wears
away
- Good
lubricants as it
also has a high
melting point
so won't break
down like oil
would

- Weak intermolecular forces between the layers
- Each carbon atom is

no delocalised electrons
who are free to move to
carry charge
