Two adjacent sheets in graphite are bonded together with

A

van der Waal's forces

B

ionic bonds

C

metallic bonds

D

covalent bonds

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Graphite is soft and possesses low density because any two adjacent layers can easily slide over each other as they are held by weak van der Waals' forces.
