Graphite consists of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure. The atoms are bonded strongly within layers but weakly between layers. This layered structure allows the sheets to slide over one another easily, giving graphite its softness and lubricating ability. Because of free moving electrons within its layers, graphite is also a good conductor of electricity.
