Graphite Crystal Model
Product Code : LSK-CL-10075
Graphite Crystal Model (SKU LSK-CL-10075) is an assembly kit for building the layered crystal structure of graphite, in which carbon atoms form flat sheets of joined hexagons stacked one above another. It helps students see why graphite is soft, slippery and conducts electricity while diamond does not. Schools, colleges, teacher-training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can obtain the kit through Science Lab Supplies, which handles quotations and dispatch from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Every jack and connector count for the graphite kit is set out in the table. In short, the model of the compound is built from 57 jacks in two colours, 45 black and 12 red, joined by 69 standard connectors and 8 long black connectors, with an instruction manual to guide the assembly.

Applications and Experiments for the Graphite Crystal Model
The model explains the properties of graphite from its structure: strong bonds inside each hexagonal sheet, weak forces between the sheets, and one free electron per carbon atom. It serves the allotropes of carbon topic in NCERT Class 10 and the bonding and solid-state chapters of Class 11–12 and B.Sc. chemistry.
- Class 10 carbon and its compounds: graphite and diamond as two allotropes of the same element.
- Class 11 chemical bonding: sp2 carbon in planar hexagonal rings, shown in orbital form by the Orbital Model of Sp2 Hybridization.
- Class 12 and B.Sc. solid state: layered covalent solids, lubrication and electrical conduction, alongside the hexagonal unit cell in the Crystal Lattice Model Set.
- A link to modern materials, since a single graphite sheet is graphene.
Standard Scope of Supply
One kit contains 45 black jacks, 12 red jacks, 69 connectors and 8 long black connectors, together with the instruction manual for building the graphite lattice. The parts are supplied loose for assembly, so the same kit can be rebuilt by different classes through the year.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a single kit for demonstration or several for students working in groups. The quotation from Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for the number you name, and school chemistry lab equipment such as the diamond and salt lattice models can be priced on the same document.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and, as a registered exporter, can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. For a price on graphite kits, leave the quantity on the contact page or in the enquiry cart; institutions buying by tender will find the route on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What parts come in the Graphite Crystal Model?
The kit has 57 jacks (45 black and 12 red), 69 connectors and 8 long black connectors, plus an instruction manual that shows how to assemble the layered lattice.
Why teach graphite with a model?
Seeing the stacked hexagonal sheets makes it clear why graphite is soft and conducts electricity, and why diamond, made of the same carbon, behaves so differently.
Who supplies the Graphite Crystal Model?
Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, prepares the quotation, whether a school wants one kit for the teacher or a college or distributor needs a full class or tender quantity.
Can it be bought with the diamond model?
Yes. The Diamond Crystal Model and this kit can be quoted as a pair for allotrope lessons, letting students build the four-bonded and the layered forms of carbon side by side.
