What is the name for different forms of the same element?

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.

What is two or more different molecular forms of the same element in the same physical state?

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.


What are allotropes Give an example How are allotropes different from isotopes?

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.


Are allotropes pure substances?

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.


Allotropes have different what?

Allotropes are versions of the same element or compound with a different molecular structure.


Is sulfur Happy?
