Why is graphite used as a dry lubricant in machinery?
a.) Each carbon atom undergoes sp3
hybridization in graphite
b.) Graphite has layered structure and it cleaves between the layers and therefore it is very
soft and slippery
c.) Graphite is a non-conductor of electricity
d.) Graphite has two sigma bonds and two pi bonds
