CASE1: Read the passage given below and
answer the following questions 53-55.
The structure of carbon materials, which is composed
of sp2 hybridized atoms, is layered and graphite like;
these materials are characterized by a strong
anisotropy of properties : high strength characteristics
along the layer plane and smaller values by an order
of magnitude in the normal direction. Hence, they are
used only as fillers in composites. Diamond (which
consists of sp3 hybridized atoms) has high strength
characteristics in all crystallographic directions;
however, diamond based materials have not found
wide application because of the high cost of synthesis.
Therefore, the search for new carbon structures with
high strength characteristics in all crystallographic
directions is a problem of great practical and scientific
importance. Obviously, high strength characteristics can
be provided in the case of 3D bound structures (3D
structure) with strong covalent bonds.

53. The search for new carbon structures with high
strength characteristics in all crystallographic
directions is important because :
(a) A very few forms of carbon are known.
(b) Graphite and diamond are the allotropes of carbon.
(c) Diamond is hard but has high cost of synthesis.
(d) Carbon is found in both crystalline and amorphous
forms.
54. Diamond has high strength characteristics in all
crystallographic directions due to :
(a) high strength characteristics along the layer plane.
(b) weak strength characteristics along the normal
direction.
(c) high strength characteristics along the layer plane
as well as in the normal direction.
(d) 3D network structure with strong covalent bonds.
