Interpretation:
Differences between the allotropes are to be stated.
Concept Introduction :
At the molecular level, allotropes are various forms of the same element. Carbon has the most allotropes of any chemical element.
Answer to Problem 20LC
Allotropes differ in physical characteristics such as color, hardness, etc.
Explanation of Solution
The ability of some elements to occur in more than one different form, in the same physical state, is known as allotropy or allotropism. These forms are referred to as the element's allotropes.
Allotropes typically differ from one another in terms of physical characteristics like color and hardness; they may also differ in terms of molecular structure or chemical activity, but most chemical characteristics are typically the same.
