What is allotrope?

Answer 1

In chemistry, an allotropism is the ability of an element to exist in more than one physical form without a change of state.

Answer 2

Allotropes are different forms of an element. For example phosphorus occurs as red phophorus, white phosphorus , black phosphorus, violet phosphorus all are pure phosphorus but the structure of the solids are different.

Answer 3

Allotrope refers to different forms of the same element that exist in the same physical state but have different chemical structures. These different forms can have distinct properties, such as diamond and graphite which are both allotropes of carbon with different structures and properties.

Answer 4

Allotrope is a product formed by different number of atoms by the same element. For example ozone is the allotrope of oxygen.
