    The electrical conduction is shown by :

    A) potassium          

    B) sodium

    C) graphite                              

    D) diamond

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Graphite an allotrope of carbon is a good conductor of electricity. Each carbon atom in graphite is \[S{{P}^{2}}\]hybridised. The unhybridised p-orbitals overlap sideways with each other to form \[\pi \] clouds. The electrical conductivity can be attributed to mobile (delocalised) \[\pi \] electrons.
