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