Elemetal carbon appears in many structural forms or allotropes. Three of these forms are crystalline - diamond, graphite and the recently discovered fullerene (bucky ball) - while more than 40 others including coke and carbon black are amorphous. Now there seems to be a fourth crystalline allotrope of carbon, reported in 1995 by Rich and Lagow at the University of Texas
Structures of different allotropes of carbon have been compared. Which represents incorrect comparison ?

A

allotrope discoverd in 1995 sp-hybridised carbon

B

bucky ball sp-hybridised carbon

C

graphite `sp^(2)` - hybridised carbon

D

diamond `sp^(3)` – hybridised carbon

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Bucky ball [Fullerene] - sp hybridised carbon
