    Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behaviour is that graphite

    A)  is an allotropic form of carbon

    B)  is a non-crystalline substance

    C)  has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of rings of strongly bond carbon atoms with weak interplate bonds

    D)  has molecules of variable molecular masses like polymers

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behaviour is that graphite has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of rings of strongly bound carbon atoms with weak inter plate bonds.
