Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behavior is that graphite :
| 1. | is a non-crystalline substance. |
| 2. | is an allotropic form of diamond. |
| 3. | has molecules of variable molecular masses like polymers. |
| 4. | has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of rings of strongly bound carbon atoms with weak interplate bonds. |
