Q. The bonding present between the carbon atoms of graphite:

AFMCAFMC 2002

Solution:

In graphite, each carbon atom is $sp^{2}$ hybridised and is linked to three other carbon atoms directly in the same plane by covalent bond ($\sigma$ bond) to form hexagonal ring. These rings constitute huge sheets. The different sheets are joined to each other by weak van der Waals' forces.
