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. Science Lab Supplies, based in Ambala, India, offers the kit to schools, colleges, teacher-training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
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. An instruction manual explains the assembly, so the layered lattice can be built during the lesson and taken apart for storage afterwards.

Applications and Experiments for the Graphite Crystal Model
Teachers use the model to explain 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.
- Class 12 and B.Sc. solid state: layered covalent solids, lubrication and electrical conduction.
- 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. Requests reach the team through the contact page and the enquiry cart, while the lab tender page covers institutional tenders.
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?
The kit is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Schools, colleges and distributors can request a quotation for one kit or for a full class or tender quantity.
Can it be bought with the diamond model?
Yes. The Diamond Crystal Model and this kit are often ordered as a pair for allotrope lessons, and both can appear on one quotation.
Related Carbon Structure Models
Graphite makes most sense next to diamond, an sp2 orbital model and an ionic lattice for contrast. With these four items a teacher can move from bonding theory to crystal structure and compare covalent network, layered and ionic solids within the same chemistry lesson.
- Diamond Crystal Model — the three-dimensional allotrope of carbon.
- Orbital Model of Sp2 Hybridization — the bonding inside each graphite sheet.
- Sodium Chloride Crystal Model — an ionic lattice for comparison.
- Carbon-Carbon Molecular Model — includes benzene, another hexagonal carbon ring.
