Which one of the following materials is not an allotrope of carbon?
Options
- ADiamond
- BGraphene
- CFly ash
- DFullerene
Correct answer
C. Fly ash
Step-by-step solution
- When an element exists in more than one crystalline form, those forms are called allotropes. - The two most common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite. - Graphene is a two dimensional one atom thick allotrope of Carbon. Electrons in grapheme behave as massless relativistic particles. It is a 2 dimensional nanomaterial with many peculiar properties - Fly ash is not an allotrope of carbon.
