Are carbon and graphite same material?

Yes. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are composed of the same element but the arrangement differs. Diamond and fullerenes are also allotropes of carbon. Allotropes of carbon differ in the arrangement of the carbon atoms. The structure of graphite enables it to be used in pencils (the "lead") and as a lubricant, but the arrangement of carbon in diamond makes it the hardest substance known on the earth.

YES!!! Sulphur exhibits several allotropes. The Yellow allotrope is 'S8'. It is sometimes named as ' flowers of sulphur'. There are at least two other allotropes, they are red sulphur, and white sulphur, but these are less common. NB An ALLOTROPE is a different physical form of the same element.


Are aluminum and aluminum oxide allotropes?

Not at all. Aluminum oxide is a compound of aluminum, not an allotrope. An allotrope of aluminum would still be called aluminum, but sometimes we distinguish allotropes by assigning numbers, such as sulfur-1, sulfur-2, etc. It refers to the specific structure which the atoms form (such as crystaline vs. amorphous).
