Description
A molecular model of graphite: graphene sheets of one-atom thick carbon atoms in a stong hexagonal arrangement, with very loose bonds between the sheets. Although the sheets are incredibly strong, the bonds between the sheets are weak making graphite a very soft mineral useful as the "lead" in pencils and as a dry lubricant.
