Graphite is softonic substance because use the pancle.

Pencil has a black color as well as graphite. So that is truly the answer.

Because of soft graphite such as 8b.

Graphite is the answer.

What is the atomic number of graphite?

Graphite is softest form of carbon and is used in lubrication.

Graphite is the correct answer.

Graphite is another giant covalent structure made of carbon atoms. In graphite, each carbon atom is joined to three others, forming layers:.

Diagram showing graphite structure.

The bonds between the layers are much weaker than covalent bonds. This enables the layers to slide over each other, making graphite soft. Graphite can also conduct electricity, between the layers of carbon atoms.

Graphite is used as pencil 'lead'. As the pencil moves across the paper, layers of graphite rub off.

Hi, @Tin. Your explanation is correct. I think so that the substance is clay powder.

I agree with you @Lily.

The graphite has van der Waals forces between its layers and this makes it soft when writing.
