In graphite C atom is in …state

Options

(a) sp³
(b) sp
(c) sp²
(d) none of these

Correct Answer:

sp²

Explanation:

In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in regular hexagons in flat parallel layers.Each C atom in these layers is bonded to other three by sp² covalent bonds. Each layer is bonded to the adjacent layers by weak van der Waals forces.
