Source sentences:
text: It can conduct electricity due to the vast electron delocalization within the carbon layers (a phenomenon called aromaticity).
text: Graphite can behave like a metal and conduct electricity but also as a nonmetal that resists high temperatures.
text: These delocalised electrons are no longer associated directly with any particular atom or pair of atoms and it is due to this phenomenon that graphite is able to conduct electricity and heat, as well as making graphite ideal for lubrication.
text: These free electrons allow graphite to conduct electricity.
text: Graphite is the only non-metal element that conducts electricity.
text: layers allows graphite to conduct electricity and heat .
text: Graphite conducts electricity, which is unusual for a substance that is not a metal, especially since at least one other elemental carbon allotrope, diamond, is not conductive at all and is in fact a very good insulator.
text: To explain the fact that graphite conducts electricity, we use an idea from molecular orbital (MO) theory, namely that bonding and antibonding MOs are formed from the adjacent p orbitals that extend over the sheet surface.
text: Graphite conducts electricity because it possesses delocalized electrons in its structure.
text: Graphite is soft, gray, and can conduct electricity reasonably well.
