thumb|193x193px|Diamond and [[graphite are two allotropes of carbon: pure forms of the same element that differ in crystalline structure.]]
AI overview
Allotropy is when the same chemical element exists in different pure forms that have different structures and properties—like how carbon can be either diamond or graphite. This matters because the same element can behave very differently depending on how its atoms are arranged, which affects what uses it can have.
