The \(C-C\) bond length is maximum in

  1. A graphite
  2. B \(C_{70}\)
  3. C diamond
  4. D \(C_{60}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) diamond

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since carbon in diamond is \(sp^3\) hybridized and its \(C -C\) bond order is \(1\). In graphite and fullerene there is both \(C -C\) and \(C = C\) in conjugation, hence there is partial double bond character between carbon atoms
