how many carbon atom is connected to one carbon atom in Amorphous carbon

Open in App

Solution

Amorphous carbon contains both sp² and sp³hybridized carbons atoms which form a short order range only. Therefore, one carbon atom is bonded to 3 as well as 4 other carbon atoms in amorphous allotrope of carbon.The ratio of sp² and sp³ carbon atoms in amorphous allotrope depends on the method and type of conditions in which the allotrope has been made or exists in nature.
