Answer:
Each carbon is sp3 hybridized and forms covalent bonds with four other carbon atoms at the corners of the tetrahedral structure.
Explanation:
Allotropes of carbon
1. Eight allotropes of carbon: a) diamond, b) graphite, c) lonsdaleite, d) C60 buckminsterfullerene, e) C540, Fullerite f) C70, g) amorphous carbon, h) zig-zag single-walled carbon nanotube. ...
2. Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes (structurally different forms of the same element) due to its valency.
Carbon allotropes are used widely. The pencil which we use has it's lead made of graphite. Also graphite is also used as electrodes in various electrochemical cells because its a good conductor. Diamond is widely used in jewellery.
