What are the different types of allotropes

There are several allotropes of carbon. Allotropes of CarbonAllotropes of carbon: a) Diamond, b) Graphite, c) Lonsdaleite, d) C60 (Buckminsterfullerene or buckyball), e) C540, f) C70, g) Amorphous carbon, and h) single-walled carbon nanotube, or buckytube.

There are more than three allotropes of carbon. These include diamond, graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and carbon nanobuds. Each carbon atom in a diamond is covalently bonded to four other carbons in a three-dimensional array. A diamond is essentially one giant molecule.

Use the accompanying fact sheet and differentiated flash card activity to explore the different properties and uses of four allotropes of carbon – diamond, graphite, graphene and buckminsterfullerene.

There are two types of azeotropes: minimum boiling azeotrope and maximum boiling azeotrope. A solution that shows greater positive deviation from Raoult’s law forms a minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition.

When an element exists in more than one crystalline form, those forms are called allotropes; the two most common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite.
