Does graphite pass current |
| Answer» The crystalline form of carbon is graphite. It is also represented by the symbol C. In graphite each carbon atom is bonded to three carbon atoms. These three atoms are again bonded to three carbon atoms each, and so on. Thus a hexagonal layered structure is formed. Light cannot pass through the graphite crystal because of the irregular layered structure. Therefore graphite is a grey-black and opaque material. | |
