What is allotropes of carbon |
|
Answer» Graphite, diamond and Buckminster fullerene Allotropes of carbon\tDiamond – an extremely hard, transparent crystal, with the carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral lattice. A poor electrical conductor. An excellent thermal conductor.\tLonsdaleite – also called hexagonal diamond.\tGraphene – is the basic structural element of other allotropes, nanotubes, charcoal, and fullerenes.\tQ-carbon – a ferromagnetic, tough, and brilliant crystal structure that is harder and brighter than diamonds.\tGraphite – a soft, black, flaky solid, a moderate electrical conductor. The C atoms are bonded in flat hexagonal lattices (graphene), which are then layered in sheets. Graphite and fullerene Diamond |
