Vedclass · Answer

(C) Graphite reacts with potassium vapour at $300^{\circ} C$ to form an intercalation compound $C_8K$. In this compound, the potassium atoms donate their valence electrons to the graphite layers. The presence of these delocalized electrons makes the compound electrically conducting. Furthermore, the presence of unpaired electrons or the specific electronic structure of the interlayer state imparts paramagnetic character to the compound.

When graphite is heated at $300^{\circ} C$ with potassium vapour, it forms $C_8K$ compound that shows one of the following property.
