Each layer is called a graphene layer, and the layers are held
together by weak van der Waals forces, which allow them to slide over
each other
...
he properties of graphite make it an excellent material for various
T
uses
...
The
lubricating properties of graphite make it ideal for use as a dry
lubricant in applications where oil or grease would not be suitable
...
This property is what makes
graphite the main component in lithium-ion batteries, which are widely
used in portable electronics and electric vehicles
...
Imagine you have a stack of papers
representing the graphene layers in graphite
...
The same thing happens when atoms
or molecules are inserted between the graphene layers in graphite,
increasing the distance between the layers and causing the graphite to
expand
...
Its
electrical conductivity, for example, increases by several orders of
magnitude, while its color turns from gray to blue
...
ow, let's discuss how the structure and properties of graphite relate
N
to its use in pencils, one of the most common uses of graphite
...
The layers of carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in a way
that allows them to slide over each other, making it easy to create
lines of varying thickness
...
The proportion of graphite to clay in the mixture
determines the hardness of the pencil lead
...
In the video, the instructor demonstrated this process by mixing
graphite powder and clay, then rolling and pressing the mixture into a
thin rod
...
In conclusion, graphite is a versatile mineral with unique structure and
properties that make it an invaluable material in various industries,
from manufacturing to electronics
