Carbon Allotropes and their Structures

Carbon is a non-metal found in group 4 of the periodic table. It occurs naturally as diamond and graphite. These physically different forms of the same chemical element are known as allotropes. Other elements that exist in different forms in their free states include tin, sulphur and phosphorus. Also, it occurs in an impure form as coal and in the combined state as petroleum, wood and natural gases. 

The Atomic Structure of Carbon

Carbon is the sixth element in the periodic table. the nucleus its atom it composed of six proton and six neutron and surrounded by six electron;2 in the first energy level (k-shell) and four in the 2nd energy level ( L-shell). Its orbital configuration is 1S22S22P2.
