Answer» Different FORM of an element which have different physical appearance and properties but their chemical properties are same are CALLED Allotropes. There are three Allotropes of carbon:- 1. Diamond 2. Graphite 3. Fullerene Explanation:1. Diamond - Diamond is a 3-dimensional network of strong carbon-carbon covalent bond. 2. Graphite - In Graphite each carbon atom is bonded with three other carbon atoms to form hexagonal rings. 3. Fullerene - It is as same structure as graphite. But also CONTAIN pentagonal or heptagonal rings. SPHERICAL fullerene are called Bucky balls and Cyndrical fullerene are called lucky tube or nano tubes. |
