Which statements about the allotropes of carbon are correct?
Statement 1: In graphite, each carbon atom forms three covalent bonds.
Statement 2: Graphite has a high melting point because the forces between its layers are strong.
Statement 3: Graphene conducts electricity because it has delocalised electrons.
Statement 4: Diamond does not conduct electricity because it has no delocalised electrons.
