With respect to graphite and diamond, which of the statement given is correct?

A

Graphite is harder than diamond

B

Graphite has higher electrical conductivity than diamond

C

Graphite has higher thermal conductivity than diamond

D

Graphite has higher C-C bond order than diamond.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D
Graphite has higher electrical conductivity than diamond but diamond has higher thermal conductivity than graphite . Further, since C-C bond in graphite has double bond character, therefore, its b ond order is higher than in diamond. Thus, options (b) and (d) are correct.
