Answer:

Graphite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Graphite, plumbago or black lead, is a mineral making up of carbon as its main atom. It has an aromatic-like structure that consists of rings of six carbon atoms assembled in widely spaced horizontal planes. It is extremely soft, and slippery, cleaves at low pressure. Moreover has a very low specific gravity making it a decent electricity conductor. In addition, it successfully withstands heat.

Best regards.
