Q2.
This question is about materials and their properties.

(a) Figure 1 shows a carbon nanotube.

Figure 1

The structure and bonding in a carbon nanotube are similar to graphene.

Carbon nanotubes are used in electronics because they conduct electricity.

Explain why carbon nanotubes conduct electricity.
