Choose the correct statement:(1) Diamond is covalent and graphite is ionic.(2) Diamond is sp3 hybridised and graphite is sp2 hybridized.(3) Both diamond and graphite are used as dry lubricants.(4) Diamond and graphite have two dimensional network.

Answer»

(2) Diamond is sp3 hybridised and graphite is sp2 hybridized.

In diamond each carbon is bonded with four other carbon atoms. So hybridisation of carbon atom is sp3.

In graphite each carbon is bonded with three other carbon atoms. So hybridisation of carbon atom is sp2.
