Some allotropes of carbon are diamonds, amorphous carbon, and graphite. While the density of diamonds ranges between 3.15 and 3.53 grams per cubic centimeter, graphite has a density that is between 2.09 and 2.23 grams per cubic centimeter. The density of carbon is 2.267 grams per cubic centimeter.

Is silicon an allotrope of carbon?
No silicon is an element in the same group as carbon, it has similar chemical properties but it is not carbon.
Is carbon an insulator or a conductor?
It depends on the type, or allotrope, of carbon you're talking about. For a material to conduct electricity, it should have free electrons to carry the electrical current. In diamond, an allotrope of carbon, there are no such free electrons. This means that diamond does not conduct electricity. However, graphite, another allotrope of carbon, conducts electricity very well because it has an entire "sea" of free electrons.
What is a diamond made form?
Diamond is an allotrope (arrangement) of carbon.
Are diamonds metallic bonds?
NO!!! Diamonds are an allotrope of carbon. Each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with four adjacent carbon atoms. The result is the ADAMANTINE structure ( Very similar to a pyramid).
Which allotrope of carbon is used in superconductor?
Not used today but possible in the future: - carbon nanotubes - doped carbon as CaC6

Why is diamond element?
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.
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.
