Solution

Dear student!
Originally, allotropy is a natural formula but still its presence depends on the different bonding arrangements between atoms which result in different structures with different chemical and physical properties.
And different physical properties causes allotropy in an element. However, the %age of allotropes depends on their abundance and applications.
