To match each word to its definition:
1. Graphite - a carbon allotrope that consists of single layers of graphite. Graphite is made up of planar sheets of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is a good conductor of electricity due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
2. Allotrope - different forms of the same element in the same state. Allotropes are different structural forms of an element. In the case of carbon, it can exist in various allotropes such as graphite, diamond, graphene, and fullerene.
3. Diamond - has a giant covalent structure and does not conduct electricity. Diamond is a carbon allotrope characterized by its rigid, three-dimensional network of carbon atoms, bonded together by strong covalent bonds. It does not conduct electricity as it lacks free electrons or charged ions.
4. Graphene - a carbon allotrope that consists of single layers of graphite. Graphene is a two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is incredibly thin, lightweight, and exhibits exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity.
5. Fullerene - a carbon allotrope consisting of cages or tubes. Fullerene molecules are composed entirely of carbon atoms, arranged in a spherical or cylindrical structure. The most well-known fullerene is Buckminsterfullerene (C60), which resembles a soccer ball with carbon atoms forming the vertices.
6. Carbon - an element that belongs to group 4 or 14 on the periodic table. Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is a non-metal and a vital component of living organisms. Carbon is known for its ability to form a wide variety of compounds and its importance in many biological and industrial processes.
