Question:

The C-C bond length is maximum in:

C70

diamond

C60

graphite

Solution:

Correct option is C. diamond. In diamond, only a σ bond is present in the C-C bond, while in the case of graphite and fullerene (C60 and C70), the C-C bond contains double bond character. That is why diamond has the maximum C-C bond length.
