Best Answer

There are two Allotropic Forms of Carbon. They are the following:

Diamond & Graphite.

Diamond: The Diamond is hardest knwon substance (or Natural Substance). It is in Crystalline state. It's density is 3.51 gram per cubic centimeter. It's Melting Point is 3500 centigrade. It has high refractive index i-e: 2.45. It is a bad conductor of electricity. Pure Diamond is transparent to X-rays that's why we use X-rays to distinguish between real diamond & imitation diamond. It's structure is Tetrahedral structure.

An allotrope is where a chemical element can exist in two or more different forms. Carbon actually has many more than just two; however, the two most well known are diamond and graphite.
