Which of the following dissolves in organic solvents to form colored solutions ?

A

Diamond

B

Graphite

C

Charcoal

D

`C_(60)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Unlike graphite, diamond, and charcoal, fullerenes dissolve in organic solvents on account of the weak dispersion forces holding the `C_(60)` units together in the solid phase. All the fullerenes sublime when heated, a property providing further evidence of the weak intermolecular forces.
