Solution
The correct option is A Diamond
In diamond, carbon atoms are arranged in a regular tetrahedral structure. Each carbon atom is bonded to four
other carbon atoms.
In benzene, six carbon atoms form a hexagon.
Graphite is made of hexagonal arrays of carbon atoms placed in layers one above the other. Carbon black also has a similar structure to graphite but the molecules are less orderly arranged.
