Question

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Graphite is sp2 hybridized- Thus it has 3 hybridized orbital and one unhybridized orbital- 3 electrons form 3 bonds with 3 carbons atoms and 1 electron remains free-

The number of free electrons in the outermost shell of carbon in graphite is :
four
two
one
three

Graphite is $s p^{2}$ hybridized. Thus it has 3 hybridized orbital and one unhybridized orbital. 3 electrons form 3 bonds with 3 carbons atoms and 1 electron remains free.
