Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behaviour is that, graphite

• is a non-crystalline substance

• is an allotropic form of diamond

• has molecules of variable molecular masses like polymers

• has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of rings of strongly bound carbon atoms with weak interplate bonds

In silica (SiO₂), each silicon atom is bonded to

• two oxygen atoms

• four oxygen atoms

• one silicon and two oxygen atoms

• one silicon and four oxygen atoms
