Boron nitride or borazone formula is (BN)_n
→ Boron nitride has graphite like layer structure.Graphite is conductor,where as boron nitride is non conductor due to polarity of B—N bond in boron nitride.
→ Boron nitride is called inorganic graphite since its structure is similar to that of graphite
→ Due to its layer like structure it is slippery in nature hence it is used as lubricant.
