Carbon Atoms Can Be Found in a Variety of Elemental

question 45

Essay

Carbon atoms can be found in a variety of elemental forms. At sufficiently high temperature, carbon is an atomic gas. At room temperature, both tetrahedral networks in diamond and trigonal planar networks in graphite can be found. Trigonal planar networks of carbon atoms are also found in Buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀). How does the standard entropy of these forms vary per mole of carbon?
