There are many allotropes of carbon, some are:
- Amorphous Carbon (No real structure to speak of)
- Diamond (Tetrahedral Crystalline Structure)
- Graphite (Hexagonal 'Graphene' Sheets)
- C-nanotubes (Cylindrical Graphene)
- Buckyballs (Spherical Graphene)
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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you convert one allotrope of carbon to the next 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.
Is ethane a allotrope?
No, ethane is not an allotrope. Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element, while ethane is a compound composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Are diamonds explosive?
NO!!! However, as an allotrope of carbon , they will change to graphite (another allotrope of carbon) on heating.
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.
Who discover the third allotrope buckminster fullerene?
In 1985, a third crystalline allotrope of carbon called fullerenes was discovered collectively by three scientists namelyR.E. SmalleyR.F. CurlH.W. Kroto
Is a diamond an example of elemntal carbon?
Yes, it is true - diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
What allotrope does diamonds use?
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
Which is the allotrope of carbon discovered in 2010?
The carbon nanofoam is the 5th allotrope of carbon which is found in 1997.but it was confirmed in 2010.
How do you describe an allotrope?
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.
Graphite is an allotrope of what element?
Diamond, graphite and carbon black are the most common allotropes of CARBON

What is an allotrope for carbon?
A diamond.
What mineral is the hardest substance known and an allotrope of carbon?
Diamond is the hardest mineral currently known and is an allotrope of carbon.
What does this solid carbon become part of?
Solid carbon (C) may be diamond, graphite, coal, carbon black etc.
What is a sentence with the word allotrope?
A diamond is an allotrope of carbon
Why is diamond classified as an allotrope of carbon?
It is one of forms of carbon
Why is graphite considered to be an allotrope of carbon?
Because it is an allotrope of carbon. It is a different structural form of the element carbon having a rather flat lattice structure that tends to be in sheets.
