Allotropy refers only to different forms of an element within the same physical phase (the state of matter, such as a solid, liquid or gas). The differences between these states of matter would not alone constitute examples of allotropy. Allotropes of chemical elements are frequently referred to as polymorphs or as phases of the element.
Diamond is an excellent thermal conductor, but some forms of graphite are used for thermal insulation (for example heat shields and firebreaks). At standard temperature and pressure, graphite is the thermodynamically stable form. Thus diamonds do not exist forever.
Two examples of the reactivity of gray arsenic towards transition metals are known. [3] [4] In these reactions, cyclopentadienyl complexes of molybdenum, tungsten and chromium proceed via loss of carbon monoxide to react with gray arsenic and form mono-, di-, and triarsenic compounds. Reactions of gray arsenic.
In 2006, the diatomic molecule was generated in homogeneous solution under normal conditions with the use of transition metal complexes (for example, tungsten and niobium). [ 41 ] Diphosphorus is the gaseous form of phosphorus , and the thermodynamically stable form between 1200 °C and 2000 °C.
Atomic oxygen, denoted O or O 1, is very reactive, as the individual atoms of oxygen tend to quickly bond with nearby molecules.Its lowest-energy electronic state is a spin triplet, designated by the term symbol 3 P.
Phase information is based on the work of G. C. Vezzoli, et al., as reviewed by David Young; as Young notes, "The literature on the allotropy of sulfur presents the most complex and confused situation of all the elements." [8] [9] Phase information are limited to ≤50 kbar and thus omitting metallic phases. [10]

As well, allotropy of elements and polymorphism have been linked historically. However, allotropes of an element are not always polymorphs. A common example is the allotropes of carbon, which include graphite, diamond, and londsdaleite. While all three forms are allotropes, graphite is not a polymorph of diamond and londsdaleite.
