Options
- Acharcoal
- Bgraphite
- Cdiamond
- Dfullerene
Correct answer
D. fullerene
Step-by-step solution
In fullerene, each carbon is bonded to three other carbon atoms. Two types of those bonds are of greater single bond character and greater length 143 . 5   pm and one is of greater double bond character and shorter length 138 . 3   pm .
