#Explain carbon and its allotropes​

Answer 1

mark me as brainliest answer✌️✌️keep smiling and be happy

carbon,

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes (structurally different forms of the same element) due to its valency.

its allotrope

Diamond is a well known allotrope of carbon. The hardness and high dispersion of light of diamond make it useful for both industrial applications and jewelry.

Graphite, named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789, from the Greek (graphein, "to draw/write", for its use in pencils) is one of the most common allotropes of carbon.

The buckminster fullerenes, or usually just fullereness or buckyballs for short, were discovered in 1985 by a team of scientists from Rice University and the University of Sussex, three of whom were awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Glassy carbon or vitreous carbon is a class of nongraphitizing carbon widely used as an electrode material in electrochemistry, as well as for high-temperature crucibles and as a component of some prosthetic devices.

Carbon nano foam is the fifth known allotrope of carbon, discovered in 1997 by Andrei V. Rode and co-workers at the Australian National University in Canberra. It consists of a low-density cluster-assembly of carbon atoms strung together in a loose three-dimensional web.

Answer 2

Explanation:

➡️ Carbon exhibits allotropy due to the following reasons: Firstly, the methods of formation or preparation of the element are different. Secondly, the arrangement of atoms in a given form changes according to its method of formation or preparation. Thirdly, the element has different energies in different forms.
