Choose the correct statements about allotropes of carbon
I. Graphite has layered structure
II. Buckminster fullerene is not aromatic in nature
III. The distance between two adjacent layers in graphite is 141.5 pm
IV. The hybridization of carbons in graphite and Buckminster fullerene is same
Show Hint
Remember the key features of carbon allotropes:
Diamond: sp$^3$ hybridized, tetrahedral, 3D network, very hard.
Graphite: sp$^2$ hybridized, planar layers, conductive, soft.
Fullerene: sp$^2$ hybridized (approximately), cage-like structures.
The distance between layers in graphite (~335 pm) is much larger than the bond length within the layers (~142 pm).
