Question

What is hybridization of carbon atoms in diamond ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

diamond, each carbon combine with 4 other carbon atoms with four sigma bonds. Hence, the hybridization of carbon is sp3. In graphite, each carbon combines with 3 other carbon atoms with three sigma bonds. so sp2 hybridization

Answer 2

Answer: sp³

Explanation:

In diamond, each carbon combine with 4 other carbon atoms with four sigma bonds. Hence, the hybridization of carbon is sp³.
