Question

In diamond each Carbon atom is covalently bonded to four others.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
2. Its structure is in a way that each Carbon atom present on it is covalently bonded to four other Carbon atoms.
3. This tetrahedral arrangement of Carbon atoms is responsible for the three-dimensional and rigid structure to Diamond.
4. Due to the rigid and three-dimensional structure, Diamond is very hard, has a high melting and boiling point, and is a non-conductor of heat and electricity.
5. Hence, the given statement is True. In diamond each Carbon atom is covalently bonded to four others.
