Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element. The element carbon exists in several allotropic forms, including diamond, graphite, fullerenes, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. These forms have different physical properties due to the difference in the arrangement of carbon atoms, but they are chemically the same element.
Graphite, carbon and diamonds are
