Question

find the odd one out - Daimond,Graphite,Fullerene,Methane​

Answer 1

Methane is the odd one out among the given set of elements.

Explanation:

Methane is the odd man out among the given set of elements.

• Diamond, Graphite and Fullerene are allotropes of carbon whereas Methane is a compound with Carbon as central atom.
• Methane is a colorless, odorless gaseous compound. It has a tetrahedral structure with hydrogen, CH4. It is a useful gaseous fuel used in biogas plants, water heater, automobiles, etc.
• Allotropes are structural modification of chemical elements which can exist in two or more forms in the same physical state. The atoms bind together in different patters forming different elements.
• Diamond, Fullerene and Graphite are made of carbon atoms in their lattice, they are isotopes of Carbon. Isotopes are elements which have same number of protons and varied number of neutrons in their atoms.

Answer 2

Answer:

Methan is odd one

Explanation:

• Carbon crystals include diamond, graphite, and fullerene. They are allotropes of carbon, and allotropy is a property of carbon. The geometrical shape of these crystalline forms of carbon is regular and precise, with sharp edges and level surfaces.
• Methane is a hydrocarbon molecule with the formula CH4 and is not an allotrope of carbon.
