Back

Different chemical forms of the same element in the same physical state.

Front

What are the two forms of carbon allotropes?

Back

Amorphous form and crystalline form.

Front

What are the properties of organic compounds?

Back

Poor conductors of electricity, low melting and boiling points, high flammability, and volatility.
