Question

Carbon exists in two allotropic forms.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Allotropy :

• The ability of an element to exist in more than one physical forms having the same physical state is called allotropy.
• The various existing forms having the same physical state, exhibiting identical chemical properties but different physical properties
  are called allotropic forms.
• Carbon shows two major types of allotropic forms; crystalline and amorphous forms.
• For example; Diamond and Graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
• Amorphous forms of carbon include coal, lampblack, charcoal, gas carbon, and coke.

Thus, the given statement is True. Carbon exists in two allotropic forms.
