Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

Based on the diagram, it is *only* composed of carbon atoms. Eliminating choices C and D which contain other atoms.

Now it can get a bit tricky - there are 6 atoms in the zoomed in part, but graphite is **not** composed of molecules of 6 carbons. It is composed of sheets of carbon.

With that in mind, do you think formula C or C6 is better?

Answer 3

C6 i would say

Answer 4

I know this is a little confusing ^^

C6 would imply separate molecules that have 6 carbons each. But if we look at the molecule, it’s composed of much much larger sheets that contain more than 6 each.

Simply “C” is the more accurate description of what graphite is.
