Question

Which statement correctly describes the bonding and structure of diamond, an allotrope of Carbon?
Options
A Metallic bonding in a layered structure
B Covalent bonding in a giant molecular structure
Correct Answer
C Ionic bonding in a simple molecular structure
D Hydrogen bonding in a network structure
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The document states that Carbon forms 'Giant molecular' structures with 'Covalent' bonding (Slide 10) and for diamond, 'Each carbon atom is sp³hybridized... bonded to four other C atoms' (Slide 11), indicating a giant covalent network.

Hint

Think about the high melting point and hardness of diamond, which suggests strong, interconnected bonds.
