don't be silly that's just harsh leave Darren alone
Carbon can form diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, nanotubes, fullerenes, etc.
Carbon has many forms. Soot, graphite, fullerenes, Buckeyballs, nanotubes, for some examples.
All forms of carbon.
A carbon nanotube can be compared to the fullerenes, a group of spherical carbon allotropes (allotropes are different forms of a single element).The key difference is that the fullerenes are spherical in shape whereas carbon nanotubes resemble a fullerene network that has been stretched into a cylindrical shape. Furthermore, nanotubes contain more carbon atoms than most fullerenes do.
Some examples of fullerenes include buckminsterfullerene (C60), which is a soccer ball-shaped molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms, and carbon nanotubes, which are cylindrical fullerenes. Another example is the fullerene derivative known as C70, which consists of 70 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure.
The three forms of the element carbon are diamond, graphite, and fullerenes (such as buckyballs and nanotubes). Each form has distinct properties and structures due to different arrangements of carbon atoms.
The five allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite, fullerenes, nanotubes, and graphene. Diamond features a tetrahedral lattice structure, making it extremely hard. Graphite consists of layers of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms, allowing for lubricating properties. Fullerenes are spherical or tubular structures, while graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice.
The form of pure carbon with atoms arranged in the shape of a hollow sphere is called a fullerene. Fullerenes, also known as buckyballs, were first discovered in 1985 and have unique properties that make them of interest for various applications, such as in nanotechnology and drug delivery systems.

This technology is being explored as an option for body armor, but there are no body armor products using carbon nanotubes as yet.
1. Amorphous form - Example : Coal2. Crystalline form - Example : DiamondandThe third one is something called "buckminsterfullerenes" or commonly known as Fullerenes which was discovered in 1985.
Carbon is the head of the carbon family known as the "basis of life."
