Yes it is.

∙ 11y agoGraphite resonates between different configurations of bonds, with pi bonds and their electrons forming bonds that are essentially part way between single and double bonds connecting each carbon atom with no one but three of its neighbors. Since the same electrons participate in multiple bonds they are free to move throughout the whole sheet of graphite. Since the electrons can move the graphite can conduct electricity fairly easily.

Is graphite an insulator or conductor of electricity?
Graphite conducts electricity.
Is graphite a conductor or an insulator of electricity?
Graphite conducts electricity.
Which form of Carbon is a good conductor of electricity and heat?
Graphite is the type of carbon that conducts electricity but poorly than metal
Which non metal is good conductor of electricity?
Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.
Why is graphite conductor of electricity?
graphite is a good conductor of electricity because it's electrons are free to move, and are very stable at the same time; however this means electricity can only pass through the layers and thus not powdered graphite.
Is pencil lead a conductor of electricity?
yes pencil lead is a conductor it is made of graphite(a form of carbon) which is good conductor of electricity
What is the only non metal which is good conductor of heat and electricity?
Graphite
Is graphite a good conducter of eletricity?
Graphite is only a poor conductor of electricity relative to say copper.
Why is graphite a poor conductor of electricity at high temperatures?
Carbon is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a nonmetal, which in general are poor conductors of electricity. However it should be noted that, graphite, an allotrope of carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
Is sulfur a better conductor than carbon?
No, carbon in the form of graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Sulfur is not an electrical conductor.
