MCQ
The $C-C$ bond length is maximum in
  • A
    graphite
  • B
    $C_{70}$
  • diamond
  • D
    $C_{60}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
diamond
c
Since carbon in diamond is $sp^3$ hybridized and its $C -C$ bond order is $1$. In graphite and fullerene there is both $C -C$ and $C = C$ in conjugation, hence there is partial double bond character between carbon atoms
