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.
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.
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.
ALLOTROPES are forms of an element where the atoms are arranged in different shapes and so they have different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckyballs. Phosphorus has several allotropes (including white phosphorus and red phosphorus). Sulphur also has several allotropes. An alternative answer to the question is different atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called ISOTOPES.
Allotropes
Different forms of the same element due to different arrangement of atoms are called allotropes. For example, carbon can exist in different allotropes such as diamond, graphite, and fullerenes, each with unique physical and chemical properties. These allotropes have the same number of protons (defining the element) but vary in their structure and bonding.
They are known as allotropes, for example, the allotropes of carbon are graphite and diamond.
Allotropes are versions of the same element or compound with a different molecular structure.

Allotropes are the different forms of a compound. For example iron has 3 well known allotropes: alpha iron (α) a.k.a. ferrite, gamma iron (γ) a.k.a. austenite, and delta iron (δ). They form depending on temperature and pressure the iron goes to. Another example is diamond and graphite which are both allotropes of carbon.
Yes, allotropes are pure substances because they are composed of only one type of element. However, they can exist in different forms or structures within that element.

An element is a pure substance it can not be 3 different substances. However some elements can arrange themselves to look like completely different substances. These variations are called "Allotropes" of the element. The element Sulfur forms 30 solid allotropes, more than any other element. The next element to commonly form allotropes is the element Carbon, which forms - Soot (amorphous carbon), Graphite, Diamond, Buckminsterfullerene, Lonsdaleite, Graphine, and Carbon nanotubes.
