Which of the following statements are correct ?A. Fullerences have dangling bondsB. Fullerences are cage-like moleculesC. Graphite is thermodynamically most stable allotrope of carbonD. Graphite is slippery and hard and therefore used as a dry lubricant in machines. |
Answer» Correct Answer - B::C Fullerence an allotrope of carbon with finite number of carbon atoms with closed cage structure has been identified. The `C_(60)` isotope is more dominants. The structure is nearly spherical, like football Sphere is formed by the combination of 20 hexgons and 12 pentagons. Graphite is theromodynamically more stable than all allotropes of carbon. |
