Question

Which allotrope has weak forces between its layers?

  1. Graphite
  2. Diamond
  3. Fullerene
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

It is used to make lead of pencil.

The correct answer is: Graphite


    The correct option a)Graphite.
    It an allotrope of carbon. It is a single layer sheet of carbon atoms. Layers of graphene form graphite. Strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms in graphene. Graphite is soft because the intermolecular forces between the layers are weak.
