Allotropy (or allotropism) is when a chemical element can exist in two or more different forms in the same physical state or phase. These different forms are called allotropes. Therefore, an allotrope is a different structure in which an element appears.[1] This happens when the atoms of the element are bonded together in a different way.

For example, the allotropes of carbon include:

diamond, where the carbon atoms are bonded together in a four-cornered lattice arrangement;

graphite, where the carbon atoms are bonded together in sheets of a six-sided lattice;

graphene, single sheets of graphite; and

fullerenes, where the carbon atoms are bonded together in spheres, cylinders or egg-shaped formations
