Hey mate..
=========
The following are the three allotrophic form of carbon, They are :--
1) Diamond--->
▪Diamond is the hardest natural substance known on earth.
▪In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms forming a rigid 3-D structure.
▪It has a very high melting and boiling point and it glazes when light is passed through it.
2) Graphite:--
▪Graphite is an allotrope of carbon which is a semimetal and is also a form of coal. Graphite is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions.
▪In Graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms in the same plane giving a hexagonal array. One of these bonds , is a double bond and hence the valency of the carbon is satisfied. Graphite structure is usually formed by the hexagonal arrays being placed in layers one above the other.
▪It is also a good conductor of electricity and it is also smooth ad slippery.
3) Fullerene:--
▪Fullerene is a polyhedral CARBON structure composed of around 60-80 carbon atoms in pentagon and hexagon configuration.
▪The first one to be identified was C-60 which has carbon atoms arranged in the shape of a football.
▪Since this looked like the geodesic done designed by an US architect Buckminster Fuller, the molecule was named fullerene.
▪ It is also known as "Buckminsterfullerene" or "BuckyBalls "
