A

Localised on every third C-atom

B

Present in anti-bonding orbital

C

Localised on each C-atom

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In graphite, each carbon is `sp_(2)`-hybridized and forms four covalent bonds with other C-atoms overlap side wise to give `pi`-electron cloud which is delocalized and thus the electrons are spread out between the structure.
