In graphite, electrons are

A

Localised on every third C atom

B

Present in antibonding orbital

C

Localised on each C atom

D

Spread out between the structure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Carbon is `sp^2` hybridized in graphite so the pair of electrons are concentrated above and below the layers (planar structure). These electrons are free to move and contribute to conduction.
