Crystal Structure of Graphite

Hexagonal Lattice Arrangement

Graphite’s carbon atoms line up in a hexagonal pattern within flat layers. This makes the structure beautiful and strong. This setup helps make graphite special, like its ability to conduct electricity and slippery properties.

Layers and Intermolecular Forces

The graphite sheets, like stacked pieces, have amazing bendy strength and movement because weak connections between molecules hold them together. These forces help the layers to move easily one over another. This makes graphite act in a unique way, which can be used across different businesses.
