MCQ
The space lattice of graphite is:
  • Cubic
  • B
    Tetragonal
  • C
    Rhombic
  • D
    Hexagonal

Answer

Correct option: A.
Cubic
The structure of graphite consists of many flat layers of hexagons. The layers are called graphene sheets. Each carbon atom in the layer is joined by strong covalent bonds to only three other carbon atoms. Compare this with the structure of diamond. Each graphene sheet is itself a giant molecule.
