What are allotropy? Mention allotropy of Pb, Sn, Ge, Si.

1.	What are allotropy? Mention allotropy of Pb, Sn, Ge, Si.
Answer» Allotropy: The existence of same element in two or more forms in the same physical state but having different properties called allotropy. The different forms are called allotrope. Pb: → No allotrope exists. Sn: → Sn⁺² Sn⁺³ Ge: → Two (Both are crystalline form) Si: → Two (Both are crystalline form)

Answer»

Allotropy: The existence of same element in two or more forms in the same physical state but having different properties called allotropy. The different forms are called allotrope.

Pb: → No allotrope exists.

Sn: → Sn⁺² Sn⁺³

Ge: → Two (Both are crystalline form)

Si: → Two (Both are crystalline form)
