What Are Allotropes? Non-Metals

The video tutorial explores the concept of allotropes, focusing on carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. It explains how different arrangements of atoms in these elements lead to varied physical and chemical properties. For carbon, diamond and graphite are compared, highlighting their structural differences. Oxygen's allotropes, O2 and ozone, are discussed, emphasizing their environmental roles. The video also covers phosphorus allotropes, red and white, and their applications in matches. Lastly, sulfur allotropes, including S8, are introduced, showcasing their unique structures.
