Which of the following statements are correct?
(i) Fullerenes have dangling bonds
(ii) Fullerenes are cage-like molecules
(iii) Graphite is a thermodynamically most stable allotrope of carbon
(iv) Graphite is slippery and hard and therefore used as a dry lubricant in Machines
The answer is the option (ii)Fullerenes are cage-like molecules and (iii) Graphite is a thermodynamically most stable allotrope of carbon.
The cage-like molecules are known as Fullerenes and are known to be the most stable carbon allotropes.
