Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behaviour is that, graphite
- A has molecules of variable molecular masses like polymers.
- B has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of rings of strongly bound carbon atoms with weak interplate bonds.
- C is a non-crystalline substance.
- D is an allotropic form of carbon.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
