The C - C bond length is maximum in:
The bond length is maximum in:
Options
- A
- B
- Cgraphite
- Ddiamond
Correct answer
D. diamond
Step-by-step solution
In diamond, all carbons are hybridised and hence bond lengths are similar to carbon-carbon single bonds.
Graphite, and 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.
