the crystalline allot-ropes of carbon are Diamond and Graphite their differences are,
Diamond
1- every carbon is sp3 hybridized and tetrahedraly attached to four other carbon atoms at the angles of 109.5, 2- No free electrons, so nonconductor of electricity, 3-Hardest natural material due to absence of any cleavage axis.
Graphite
1- every carbon is sp2 hybridized and trigonaly attached to three other carbon atoms at the angles of 120, 2- one free electron (weakly held through pi bonding) per atom so is conductor of electricity, 3- soft material due to presence of cleavage axis along sheet like structure.

What is the head of the carbon family?
Carbon is the head of the carbon family known as the "basis of life."
Is carbon an atom or a molecule?
Carbon, the element is an atom. However, Carbon is capable of forming at least 8 allotropes due to its valency. Some well known forms (allotropes) of carbon include diamond and graphite. These allotropes COULD be regarded as "super" molecules as they contain many carbon atoms all contently bonded together, however, strictly they are not molecules.
What element has 3 substances?
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.
Differences between organic inorganic compound?
It's arbitrary (and some chemicals are classed as both);but in general organic is carbon molecules and/or those related to life.Inorganic is everything else.

Differences between an organic molecule and a inorganic molecule?
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions).

What elements are different forms of the same element but with different molecular structures?
Allotropes
What are the differences between organic an inorganic manures?
In general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
Why is diamond a mineral if it is composed of carbon and we define mineral as inorganic?
Some minerals are called elemental minerals. Among those are gold, silver, copper, and others. Carbon exists in a variety of allotropes, which are different forms of the same element. Diamond and graphite are both allotropes and minerals consisting entirely of the element carbon. To be a mineral, a substance needs to be inorganic, and carbon is a naturally occurring inorganic element, found on Earth long before life evolved.

Which of the following is an example of a carbon allotrope?
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 is the Chemical symbol for diamond?
Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon, so it appears as C.Diamond is not an element of the periodic table, its an allotrope of Carbon.Allotropy is property of some elements to exist in two or more forms. These different forms are called allotropes of that element.
