How do allotropes of silicone differ in appearance?

name the different allotropes of silicon?


How does the molecular structure of graphene differ from the other allotropes of carbon diamond and graphite?

The molecular structure of graphene differ from the other allotropes of carbon diamond and graphite in that graphene consist of a single layer of atoms.


What is the name for different forms of the same element?

ALLOTROPES are forms of an element where the atoms are arranged in different shapes and so they have different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckyballs. Phosphorus has several allotropes (including white phosphorus and red phosphorus). Sulphur also has several allotropes. An alternative answer to the question is different atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called ISOTOPES.


What has 14 neutrons?

Aluminium with atomic number 13 ie 13 protons has 14 neutrons within the nucleus. So its mass number is 27. Silicon too with atomic number 14 has 14 neutrons within. Why not? Even phosphorous with atomic number 15 has 14 neutrons. So it is an isotope that too radio active isotope. So it is very important to know about the number of protons to identify the element. But number of neutrons do differ leading to the formation of isotopes.


Which of the following is an example of a carbon allotrope?

There are many allotropes of carbon, some are:Amorphous Carbon (No real structure to speak of)Diamond (Tetrahedral Crystalline Structure)Graphite (Hexagonal 'Graphene' Sheets)C-nanotubes (Cylindrical Graphene)Buckyballs (Spherical Graphene)Note that buckyballs and carbon nanotubes are templates of the 'fullerene family' of carbon allotropes, of which there are many.Another note: Soot is not an allotrope of carbon, it is a collection of particles left from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not an allotrope since it contains oxygen.
