Question

different types of crystalline allotrops of carbon

Answer 1

- diamond
- graphite
- buckminsterfullerene

Answer 2

Diamond is a well-known allotrope of carbon that exhibits hardness and high dispersion of light. It is the hardest known natural mineral and finds applications in cutting, drilling, and jewelry, and as a potential semiconductor material.Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in one plane; layers of graphene make up graphite. Graphene is a material of interest due to its high electron mobility and its possible applications in electronics.Fullerenes are a class of carbon allotropes in which carbon takes the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. This class of materials includes carbon nanotubes, buckyballs, and the newly discovered nanobuds.
