Characteristics: Carbon can exist with several different 3 dimensional structures in which its atoms are arranged differently (allotropes). Three common crystalline allotropes are graphite, diamond, and (usually) fullerenes. Graphene has a 2D crystal structure.(Fullerenes can sometimes exist in amorphous form
Carbon has several allotropes, or different forms in which it can exist. These allotropesinclude graphite and diamond, which have very different properties. Despite carbon's ability to make 4 bonds and its presence in many compounds, it is highly unreactive under normal conditions
