Q. Consider the following statements
I : In diamond, each carbon atom is linked tetrahedrally for four other carbon atoms by

{s p}^{3}

bonds.
II : Graphite has planar hexagonal layers of carbon atoms held together by weak Van der Waal's forces.

Q. The major binding force of diamond, silicon and quartz is

State True or False.

The boiling point is directly proportional to the van der Waals' forces between the atoms/molecules. More is the force of attraction, higher is the temperature required to overcome these binding force and higher will be the boiling point.
