The hybrid orbitals with \( 33.33 \% \) Scharacter are involved in the bonding of one of the crystalline allotropes of carbon. The allotrope is :
- A. carbon black
- B. Graphite
- C. Diamond
- D. Gas carbon
Step-by-step solution
Hybrid orbitals with 33.33% s-character correspond to sp2 hybridization. Among the given allotropes, graphite is composed of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms in a layered structure, while diamond has sp3 hybridization (25% s-character). Carbon black and gas carbon are not crystalline allotropes. Therefore, the correct answer is Graphite.
