Question

Define allotrophy what are tge various allotropic forms of carbon give their properites

Answer 1

an allotrophy means the series of structures of the isotopes formed by a same element.

Allotropes of carbon are:

1)graphene or graphite which have sp2 hybridisation and are good conductors of electricity due to their structure and space that allows freely flow of electrons.

2)diamond it is a substance of sp3

hybridisation and is bad conductor of electricity it is strongest substance on earth due to its structure and bonds strength.

3)fullerene is a substance that has sp2 hybridisation and is bad conductor of electricity and its football shaped mostly containing c60 c70 c120 isotopes
