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

Answer 1

When carbon bonds with 4 hydrogen atoms which is methane having sp3 structure so it is tetrahedral. electricity is conducted by electrons so graphite conducts by free and delocalised sea of electrons.
