  1. A Conducting and diamagnetic
  2. B Non-conducting and diamagnetic
  3. C Conducting and paramagnetic
  4. D Non-conducting and paramagnetic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Conducting and paramagnetic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Graphite } \underset{\mathrm{K} \text { (Vapours) }}{\stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow}} \underset{\text { Graphite intercadation compound }}{\mathrm{C}_8 \mathrm{~K}} \\ & \end{aligned}\) These are super conductors. Super conductivity in these…
