Q17 / 180 · COMEDK 2014 · Chemistry

Fullerene with formula $\mathrm{C}_{60}$ has a structure where every carbon atom is

  • A
    sp-hybridised
  • Correct answer
    B
    $s p^{2}$-hybridised
  • C
    $s p^{3}$-hybridised
  • D
    not hybridised

Solution

In fullcrene with formula $\mathrm{C}_{60}$, all the carbon atoms are equal and they undergo $s p^{2}$ hybridisation.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
