Diamond is the hardest, graphite is the softest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coke is not an allotrope of carbon. It is a solid form of carbon that is produced by heating coal in the absence of air.<\/li>\n<li>Lamp black is a fine black powder that is produced by incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials. It is not an allotrope of carbon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Graphite is a soft, black, lustrous form of carbon that is used in pencils and lubricants. It is made up of layers of carbon atoms that are arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The layers are held together by weak van der Waals forces, which allows them to slide past each other. This makes graphite a good lubricant.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond is a hard, colorless, transparent form of carbon that is the hardest natural substance on Earth. It is made up of carbon atoms that are arranged in a tetrahedral lattice. The strong covalent bonds between the carbon atoms make diamond very hard.<\/p>\n<p>The hardness of a material is its resistance to deformation, such as scratching or indentation. The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is a qualitative scale that ranks the scratch resistance of various minerals. Diamond is the hardest mineral on the Mohs scale, with a hardness of 10. Graphite is the softest mineral on the Mohs scale, with a hardness of 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Coke is the hardest, graphite is the softest&#8221; option2=&#8221;Diamond is the hardest, coke is the softest&#8221; option3=&#8221;Diamond is the hardest, graphite is the softest&#8221; option4=&#8221;Diamond is the hardest, lamp black is the softest&#8221; correct=&#8221;option3&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[692],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-science","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Among the various allotrope of carbon A.
