In graphite, electrons are

A

localised on every third C-atom.

B

present in anti-bonding orbital.

C

localised on cach C-atom.

D

spread out between the structure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In graphite, each carbon is `sp^(2)`-hybridized and one singly occupicd unhybridized p-orbitals of C atoms overlap sidewise to form a `pi`-electron cloud which is delocalized and thus the electrons are spread out between the structure.
