Question

Which allotropic forms of carbon are conducted

Answer 1

Answer:

Allotropes of carbon

• Two allotropes of carbon: graphite and diamond.
• Eight allotropes of carbon: a) diamond, b) graphite, c) lonsdaleite, d) C60 buckminsterfullerene, e) C540, Fullerite f) C70, g) amorphous carbon, h) zig-zag single-walled carbon nanotube. ...
• Computer models of stable nanobud structures.
• A large sample of glassy carbon.

Answer 2

Allotropic form of carbon that conducts electricity

The allotropes of carbon are

a) DIamond

b) Graphite

c) Fullerene

d) Coke

We know that the conductivity of electricity is possible due to the movement of electrons. Out of the above options, graphite is the allotrope that has got free electrons.

Hence, Graphite is the only form of carbon that conducts electricity.
