C - C bond length in graphite is shorter...

C - C bond length in graphite is shorter than C - C bond length in diamond - Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In graphite each carbon undergoes sp hybridisation and hence bond length is `1.42 A^(@)` (or) 141.5 pm. `to` Graphite has hexagonal layer like lattice. It is a 2 -dimensional structure
`to` In diamond each carbon undergoes sp. hybridisation and hence bond length is 1.54 `A^(@)` (or) 154 pm.
Diamond has regular tetrahedral giant polymeric structure. It is a 3-dimensional structure.
