Question

Allotrope of carbon, like graphite is soluble in:

• A. salty water solution
• B. oil
• C. alcohol
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D none of these

Graphite is insoluble in water as well as other organic solvents as carbon forms nonpolar covalent bonds when it bonds to itself, as in graphite. They are held together by strong covalent bonds so no solvent can introduce the force needed to break the covalent bonds and dissolve the structure.

So, the correct option is $\left(D\right)$.
