==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Graphite]]s is a soft black [[material]] made of [[pure]] [[carbon]].
===About Graphite===
: [[Graphite]] is very [[Hardness|soft]].
: [[Graphite]] is used in [[pencil]]s.
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Graphite]] is an [[allotrope]] of [[carbon]] in which the [[atom]]s are [[bond]]ed in layers with a [[hexagon]]al arrangement.

===About Graphite===
: [[Graphite]] is a [[Giant Covalent Structure|giant covalent structure]].
: [[Graphite]] is very [[Hardness|soft]].
: [[Graphite]] has a high [[Melting Point|melting point]].
: [[Graphite]] is a good [[Electrical Conductor|electrical conductor]] because it only uses 3 out of the 4 [[electron]]s in the [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] to [[bond]] with other [[atom]]s allowing the last [[electron]] to move freely around the [[Giant Covalent Structure|giant covalent structure]].
