CAIE A-Level Chemistry AS 4.2.2 Describe Interpret and Predict the Effect Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Which statement explains why buckminsterfullerene has a lower melting point than graphite?

A

Buckminsterfullerene exists as discrete molecules with weak intermolecular bonding.

B

Graphite is partly ionic as its structure contains mobile electrons and it conducts electricity.

C

The carbon-carbon bonds in buckminsterfullerene are shorter and more strained.

D

The mobile electrons in graphite mean it has a metallic structure.
