• Because there are no covalent bonds between the layers

• Because of the covalent bonds between layers

What property of graphite allows it to conduct electricity?

• The strong covalent bonds

• The delocalized electrons

• The absence of covalent bonds between layers

• The hexagonal rings

Why does graphite have a high melting and boiling point?

• Because it is soft and slippery

• Because it has a large number of strong covalent bonds

• Because it is a good conductor of electricity

• Because it forms hexagonal rings
