Q8 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (12 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry
The bond length is maximum in:
- A
- B
- Cgraphite
- Correct answerDdiamond
Solution
In diamond, all carbons are hybridised and hence bond lengths are similar to carbon-carbon single bonds.
Graphite, and forms of carbon have delocalisation of electrons which leads to double bond characteristics. Hence, their bond lengths are in between carbon-carbon single and double bonds.
Hence, diamond with only single bond character will be have the longest bond.
Graphite, and forms of carbon have delocalisation of electrons which leads to double bond characteristics. Hence, their bond lengths are in between carbon-carbon single and double bonds.
Hence, diamond with only single bond character will be have the longest bond.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
