2----- The second is :- Graphite _---. it is a greyish black opaque substance .it is a soft whereas diamond is hard { this shows that property of allotropes I.e different physical forms }

3..--- Buckminsterfullerene--- is allotropes of carbon contains cluster of 60 carbon atoms joined together to form spherical molecules .


I think it's enough according to your questions . if you easily understand my answer then no prblm to give me brainlist answer .. ☺☺
