Which one of the following allotropic form of carbon is isomorphous with crystallinesilicon?
Correct answer: D. Diamond
- A. Graphite
- B. Coal
- C. Coke
- D. Diamond
Explanation
Isomorphous refers to crystals having the same spatial arrangement of atoms, leading to similar shapes and properties.Both diamond and crystalline silicon have a three-dimensional tetrahedral structure, where each atom is bonded to four other atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. This shared structure makes them isomorphous.
