Question

Read the given statements carefully and choose the correct option.
Statement-I: Graphite has a three-dimensional network structure.
Statement-II: Buckminster fullerene has an ability to trap different atoms which makes it useful in medical field.

• A. Both the statements are correct
• B. Both the statements are incorrect
• C. Only statement-I is correct
• D. Only statement-II is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D Only statement-II is correct

Diamond has a rigid three-dimensional structure, while graphite is formed by hexagonal arrays, giving it a layered structure. Buckminster fullerene is another carbon allotrope which has carbon atoms arranged in the shape of a football. It has an ability to trap different atoms which makes it useful in the medical field.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
