Q. Graphite conducts electricity because of the
Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
A
Highly polarized nature of $\pi$-electrons.
37%
B
Highly delocalized nature of $\pi$-electrons.
37%
C
Highly localized nature of $\pi$-electrons.
10%
D
None of these
15%
Solution:
In graphite there is $sp^{2}$ hybridized carbon. Thus due to highly delocalized n electrons it possesses electrical conductivity.
