A

Silicon carbide has a three dimensional structure with each silicon and carbon atom being tetrahedrally surrounded by four atoms of the other kine

B

Carbon can form `C=S` bond because C has the ability to form `dpi-dpi` bond

C

Boron nitride has satructure similar to that of graphite

D

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement among the provided options is false, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Statement 1**: "Silicon carbide has a three-dimensional structure with each silicon and carbon atom being tetrahedrally surrounded by four atoms of the other kind." - **Analysis**: Silicon carbide (SiC) indeed has a three-dimensional tetrahedral structure where each silicon atom is surrounded by four carbon atoms and vice versa. This statement is **true**. 2. **Statement 2**: "Carbon can form C-S bond because carbon has the ability to form dπ-dπ bond." - **Analysis**: Carbon has an electronic configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p², which means it does not have d orbitals to participate in dπ-dπ bonding. Therefore, carbon cannot form C-S bonds through dπ-dπ interactions. This statement is **false**. 3. **Statement 3**: "Boron nitride has the structure similar to that of graphite." - **Analysis**: Boron nitride (BN) can exist in a hexagonal form similar to graphite, where boron and nitrogen atoms alternate in a planar structure. This statement is **true**. 4. **Statement 4**: "Graphite conducts electricity because of the availability of delocalized pi electrons." - **Analysis**: In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in layers with delocalized π electrons that allow for electrical conductivity. This statement is **true**. ### Conclusion: The false statement among the provided options is: - **Carbon can form C-S bond because carbon has the ability to form dπ-dπ bond.**
