Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The technical significance of each allotrope of carbon is to be described. Enabling material property of each allotrope is also to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Carbon can result in many allotropes because of its tetravalency. Different bond hybridizationss of carbon results in the different form of allotropes. Diamond is a carbon allotrope and resulted from sp3 hybridization. Other allotropes of carbon are ball-shaped buckminsterfullerene and sheet-shaped graphene. Nanotube or nanobuds are large structural allotropes of carbon. Some allotropes of carbon are obtained at extreme pressure and high temperature.
