Polymorphs: 

  • In mineralogy the term 'Polymorphs' refers to an existence of solid material that has ability to form one or more crystals. 
  • Generally the polymorphs is the result of one mineral that can be existed in two or more than crystal form under the influence of some physical conditions of pressure and temperature. 
  • Example:- Polymorphism is a pairs of minerals of some  inorganic compounds like calcite acid aragonite which are forms of Calcium carbonate that helps to form of polymorphs of graphite.
