The C - C bond length is maximum in:

The C−CC - C bond length is maximum in:

Options

  1. AC70{C}_{70}
  2. BC60{C}_{60}
  3. Cgraphite
  4. Ddiamond

Correct answer

D. diamond

Step-by-step solution

In diamond, all carbons are sp3s{p}^{3} hybridised and hence bond lengths are similar to carbon-carbon single bonds.
Graphite, C70{C}_{70} and C60{C}_{60} forms of carbon have delocalisation of electrons which leads to double bond characteristics. Hence, their bond lengths are in between carbon-carbon single and double bonds.
Hence, diamond with only single bond character will be have the longest bond.
