Different non-crystalline forms of carbon include amorphous carbon, activated carbon, carbon black, and carbon nanotubes. These forms have irregular atomic structures and lack long-range order typical of crystalline forms like diamond or graphite.
Substances that have a crystalline appearance include salts, such as sodium chloride (table salt), sugars like sucrose, and minerals such as quartz and diamond. These materials are characterized by a well-defined geometric structure, resulting from the orderly arrangement of their constituent atoms or molecules. Crystalline forms are typically solid at room temperature and can exhibit distinct shapes and facets. Examples also extend to metals like copper and gold when they solidify in a crystalline lattice.

Charcoal - a form of non-crystalline carbon Graphite - crystalline carbon - known as 'pencil llead' (although there is no lead in it!). In graphit, the atoms are joined together in flat sheets. Diamond - crystalline carbon with the carbon atoms arranged differently from graphite - in a huge 3d matrix. Buckminsterfullerene - a newly dicovered form of carbon where the atoms are joined together in hollow balls (called 'bucky-balls'). The investigation into this form of carbon in the future may lead to carbon 'nanotubes' - hollow tubes made out of elongated bucky-balls. These tubes, it is believed, will produce carbon that is immensely strong - like fibres as thin as your hair that could support the weight of a bus.
A black crystal with atoms having 4 electrons in its outermost energy level could be carbon, which forms a structure like graphite or diamond. In these structures, each carbon atom has 4 valence electrons, enabling it to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.

The material that forms a crystal is called a crystalline solid. It has a regular, repeating arrangement of atoms or molecules that give it a distinct crystalline structure.
Coal, pencil lead, and diamonds are all forms of carbon. The difference lies in how the carbon atoms are structured. In coal, carbon atoms are loosely attached, while in diamonds they are tightly bonded, resulting in the hardness of diamonds. Pencil lead is a mixture of graphite (which is a crystalline form of carbon) and clay.

The element that bonds with 4 chlorine atoms is carbon. Carbon tetrachloride is a compound where carbon forms bonds with 4 chlorine atoms.
A diamond is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure known as a diamond lattice. Each carbon atom forms strong covalent bonds with four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement, resulting in the formation of a hard, transparent, and valuable gemstone.
Carbon Atoms
Yes, under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, carbon can crystallize into different forms such as diamonds and graphite. Diamond is a crystalline allotrope of carbon with a tetrahedral structure, while graphite has a layered structure.
