Graphite is able to conduct electricity due to
A. ionic bonds.
B. metallic bonds.
C. delocalized electrons.
D. its rigid structure and density.

Respuesta :

1. Tetrahedral
2. diamonds are the softest materials known is not true
3. graphite is not the hardest known material
4.  delocalized electrons.  The reason why I did not say metallic bonds is that carbon is not a metal so I don't think it can be considered a metallic bond even though it has the properties of metallic bonds.  Also, I think the structure of graphite is not like the structure of a metal since it is made up of layers.
I hope this helps. let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
