These forms differ in arrangement of atoms in their crystalline form.

And if it is the case of molecule arrangement depends on the structural arrangement of atoms forming that molecule.

The box Below will give you list of various elements showing allotropy -

Elements/Molecule Forms

Carbon Graphite, diamonf, fullerenes

Sulphur (S8) Rhombic, monocline, Triclinic sulphur

Phosphorous (P4) Red, Black, Yellow

Tin (Sn) White, Grey
