Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement .
Answer» Correct Answer - c Correct explanation . In graphite, each carbon atoms is linked to three othe carbon atoms in layers and the fourth electron is free to move. Diamond is a covalent network solid in which each carbon atom is linked to four other carbon atoms.
