Graphite (pronunciation: /ËÉ¡rÃ¦faÉªt/), archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline form of carbon, a semimetal, a native element mineral, and one of the allotropes of carbon. Graphite is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Therefore, it is used in thermochemistry as the standard state for defining the heat of formation of carbon compounds.
Graphite, while also composed of carbon, has an entirely different crystal structure, and different uses. Graphite is used as an electrical contactor (a brush) in electrical motors. It makes a great dry lubricant for things like locks, and when mixed with clay, forms the lead for ordinary pencils.
