    The bonding present between the carbon atoms of graphite:

    A) metallic                               

    B) ionic

    C) covalent

    D) van der Waals? forces

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In graphite, each carbon atom is \[s{{p}^{2}}\]hybridised and is linked to three other carbon atoms directly in the same plane by covalent bond (\[\sigma \] bond) to form hexagonal ring. These rings constitute huge sheets. The different sheets are joined to each other by weak van der Waals' forces.
