Which is the most thermodynamically stable form of carbon?

  • Carbon black

  • Graphene

  • Graphite

  • Diamond


C.

Graphite

Thermodynamically graphite is the most stable form of carbon. Graphite has delocalised pi electrons over the entire sheet. This delocalisation lowers the energy of the system, leading to greater thermodynamic stability.
