Hello student, here the question is given and the question is regarding the non -covalent bond and these non -covalent bonds that hold together, hold together the graphite sheet, graphite sheet, so this could be a van der waal interaction.
00:27
So, here the option a which is the van der waal, van der waal's interaction is the answer for this hold together the graphite sheet.
00:43
So, this is the non -covalent interaction because we know the carbon atom, carbon atoms within each sheet are covalently bonded in their hexagonal pattern, hexagonal pattern but if we are talking about the sheet, the sheet themselves are held together by, together by van der waal interaction and this weak van der waal interactions are forces because this is mainly due to the temporary dipole.
01:51
So, this is due to temporary dipoles and these that arises from the fluctuation, so that arises from fluctuation in electron density within the each atom and this going to create attractive as well as repulsive force between these seated.
02:22
So, here these each carbon atom is going to be attached with the covalently but the seat which are hexagonally attached are going to be this weak van der waal force...
