Q18 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (06 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

The hybridisation of elements present in fullerene and graphite are respectively.

  • A
    $s p^3, s p^2$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $s p^2 ; s p^2$
  • C
    $s p, s p^2$
  • D
    $s p^2, s p$

Solution

Fullerene and graphite are crystalline allotropes of carbon. The carbon is in $s p^2$-hybridised state in both of them.

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