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

• is an allotropic form of carbon

• ia a non-crystalline substance

• has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of ring of strongly bond carbon atoms with weak interplate bonds

• has molecules of variable molecular masses like polymers
