diamond -it has a hard structure and crystals that shine in light and it does not conduct electricity. Graphite -it has sticky structure and has some delocalised electrons so it conducts electricity and has a slippery surface

Name three different allotropes of carbon?

The three different allotropes of carbon are: -Diamond-Graphite-Buckminsterfullerene


What are elements called that exist in different forms?

If they are in different physical form they are ALLOTROPES. If they are in different atomic form they are ISOTOPES. e.g. Allotropes [ Graphite, diamond and buckyballs* buckminster Fullerene) are allotropes of carbon. They appear different because the arrangment of the atomis is different. Isotopes Carbon 12 , Carbon-13, Carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon , because they have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.


What is the same element but a different form of the atom?

They are known as allotropes, for example, the allotropes of carbon are graphite and diamond.


What are the different forms o fan element in the same physical state but with different structures and properties called?

In that case, scientists talk about different "allotropes". For example, graphite and diamond are different varieties of carbon - the same atoms, in a different arrangement.


Define allotrophy and names the allotropes of carbon?

Allotropy is the phenomenon where an element can exist in different physical forms or structures. The allotropes of carbon include diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerenes (such as buckyballs and carbon nanotubes), and amorphous carbon. Each allotrope has a unique arrangement of carbon atoms, resulting in different properties.


Is Charcoal Allotropes of carbon?

Yes, charcoal is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are different forms of the same element that exist in the same physical state but have different properties. Charcoal is a form of carbon that is produced by heating organic material in the absence of air.


What causes graphite diamonds and fullerene to have different properties?

because they are of allotropes of carbon.


Is graphite in diamonds?

No. Both graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon. They have different molecular structures.


How is a graphite different from other allotropes of carbon?

Diamonds, coke, coal, graphite, fullerenes


A carbon molecule that has a different arrangement of atoms is known?

If the atoms of the same element (not only carbon!) occur in different arrangements, they are said to be different allotropes.


Why are allotropes not a different element?

Allotropic carbon: Organic carbon graphite diamond All are pure carbon, just of different structural forms. In the case of carbon, lattice structural differences in the graphite and diamond forms.


What is two or more different molecular forms of the same element in the same physical state?

Allotropes are two or more different molecular forms of the same element in the same physical state. Examples include diamond and graphite, which are both allotropes of carbon.
