Graphite is a soft, solid lubricant,extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anamolous behaviour is that, graphite
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 inter plate bonds
is a non-crystalline substance.
Carborundum is obtained when silica is heated at high temperature with
carbon
carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide
calcium carbonate
