There are many allotropes of carbon, some are:
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.
There are three allotropes of carbon: diamond, graphite, and fullerene. They differ in the way the carbon atoms are bonded to each other, and therefore have very different chemical and physical properties. Coal is formed when the bonding pattern in a sample of carbon is irregular and mixed.
Carbon exists in many allotropes, the most common of which are diamond and graphite. Others include amorphous carbon, fullerenes and carbon nanofoam.
In diamond, carbon atoms are connected in a lattice of six-membered rings, so that each atom is bonded to four others, in a tetrahedron. This forms a very stable network of covalent bonds, which makes diamond very strong and hard.
Graphite is composed of layers of carbon atoms, where each layer is a hexagonal crystal lattice. These sheets are only weakly bonded to each other, making graphite soft, as the layers slide across each other. The pi bonds in graphite also make it an electrical conductor.
An allotrope is a structural form of an element which has a number of structural forms (which exhibits allotropy). For example carbon has two well known allotropes, graphite a grey-black solid which conducts electricity and has uses as a lubricant; diamond a clear, non-conducting extremely hard substance.
look in the link below for the answer to this question.
the 3 allotropes of carbon are:
1.diamond
2.graphite 3.buckfullerence
Allotropes of carbon include diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon like coal and soot.
diamond, graphite, fullerene
Diamond
Diamond is the allotrope -- of carbon.
From Wikipedia: "Allotropy or allotropism is a behavior exhibited by some chemical elements: these elements can exist in two or more different forms, known as allotropes of that element. In each allotrope, the element's atoms are bonded together in a different manner." Conversion, therefore (logically) would mean that one would be able to reduce the carbon allotrope to atoms and then re-assemble them into a different allotrope. For example, in order to form a diamond allotrope from a group of carbon atoms requires enormous amounts of pressure and temperature.
Because it is an allotrope of carbon. Carbon is an element , and appears in the periodic table. Othe allotropes of carbon are graphite and buckminster fullerene(footballene). An allotrope of an element is that element appearing in differenc physical characteristics.
Ethane is an allotrop of carbon.
No, diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
Yes, it is true - diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
graphite is the lowest energy of carbon allotrope
Diamond is the allotrope -- of carbon.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
The carbon nanofoam is the 5th allotrope of carbon which is found in 1997.but it was confirmed in 2010.
An allotrope is defined as each of the two different physical forms an element can exist in. An example is carbon existing as graphite in pencils and diamonds in jewelry.

A diamond.
Diamond is the hardest mineral currently known and is an allotrope of carbon.
The non metal that has the highest melting point is Carbon. The reason for this is because Carbon has such strong bonds. An example of this would be a diamond.
yes ,it is an allotrope of carbon.
