Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid.

There are two main categories of solids.

1. Crystalline solids and

2. Amorphous solids.

Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement.

There are four types of crystalline solids :

Ionic solids :— Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They’re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl.

Molecular solids :— Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose.

Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :— Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces!

Metallic solids :— Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.

There is no maximum age limit for the President of India. Minimum age limit for president of India is 35 years.

A Scalar quantity is a quantity that has only magnitude but no direction as like vector. 

Here in the given options, electric current is the only one which is scalar.

A bubble is what lighter than air but a hundred people cannot lift me.

In physics, we know that the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.

Hence, An object that has kinetic energy must be in motion i.e, moving.

A cytoskeleton is the frame that gives shape to a cell. And also it offers support, and facilitates movement through three main components:

microfilaments,

intermediate filaments, and

microtubules.

The cytoskeleton helps the cell move in its environment and controls the movement of all of the cell's interior workings.

Tadpole is the larval stage in all the amphibians whereas larva in all the insects.

Here the two pair of words related in such a way that, a blind can't see the light. Similarly, a dumb cannot speech.

Hence, Light : Blind :: Speech : Dumb.
