The element carbon exists in different forms (or allotropes).

 * 1) ===Diamond crystals are the hardest mineral on earth.===
 * 2) ===Each carbon is bonded strongly to four other carbons forming a tetrehedral shape===
 * 3) ===Graphite is a slippery form of carbon.===
 * 4) ===Layers of carbon===
 * 5) ===Fullerenes or bucky balls were first made in 1985. (Named after a Massachusetts inventor/engineer Buckminster Fuller)===
 * 6) ===regular repeating pattern of hexagons and pentagons similar to a soccer ball===
