Graphite is a naturally occurring allotrope of carbon. It is a soft, dark gray material that is often used as a lubricant or as a pencil lead.
Graphite has a layered structure, with each layer consisting of a hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms. These layers are held together by weak van der Waals forces, which allow the layers to slide past each other. This is what gives graphite its lubricating properties.
Graphite is an electrical conductor and has a high thermal conductivity. It is also chemically resistant and does not corrode in the presence of acids or bases.
Graphite is used in a variety of applications, including as a lubricant, an electrode in batteries and fuel cells, and a pencil lead. It is also used in nuclear reactors as a moderator.
