Question

In a diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms to form (a ) A hexagonal array (b ) A rigid three-dimensional structure (c ) A structure in the shape of a football (d ) A structure of a ring​

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(B). A rigid three-dimensional structure

In a diamond, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement, forming a rigid three-dimensional network. This structure gives diamonds their exceptional hardness and makes them one of the hardest known naturally occurring substances.

Answer 2

In a diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms to form a rigid three-dimensional structure.
