Q. $ C — C $ bond length is maximum in

UPSEEUPSEE 2008

Solution:

The $C—C$ bond length in $sp^{3}$ hybridisation is greater than $sp^{2}$ hybridisation due to large size of p-orbitals
In diamond $sp^{3}$ hybridisation is present while in graphite, napthalene and fullerene $sp^{2}$ hybridisation is present therefore the $C—C$ bond length is maximum in diamond
