The property possessed by certain elements to exist in two or more distinct forms that are chemically identical but have different physical properties. In the case of iron the crystal structure has one form at room temperature and another at high temperature. When heated above 910oC the atomic structure changes from body centered cubic to face centered cubic but reverts again when cooled. The allotropy of iron modifies the solubility of carbon, and it is because of this that steel can be hardened.
It has only 2 forms of allotropy not 4

∙ 12y agoActually there are six isotopes of iron. Two of them are disintegrating ie radioactive
Fe -54, Fe-56, Fe-57 and Fe-58 are non radioactive where as Fe-55 and Fe-59 are radioactive in nature.
Fe-56 is the maximum which is available by 91.66%
Fe-54 by 5.82 percentage
Fe-57 by 2.19% and Fe-58 by 0.33 percentage.

What is an allotropic material?
A Material that exists in two or more crystal stuctures. Also known as Allotropes. Many iron alloys are considered to be allotropic materials.
What is allotropywhat are allotropic forms of carbon?
Allotropy is when an element has different forms. Some allotropes of carbon include graphite, diamond, and Buckminsterfullerenes, as well as others.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_carbon
What are substances made of carbon carbon bonds only?
The allotropic forms of carbon, Diamond, Graphite and others have only carbon-carbon bonds
