'''Allotropy''' (Gr. ''allos'', other, and ''tropos'', manner) or '''allotropism''' is a behavior exhibited by certain [[chemical element]]s: these elements can exist in two or more different forms, known as ''allotropes'' of that element. In each allotrope, the element's [[atoms]] are [[chemical bond|bonded]] together in a different manner. Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element.<ref>Allotrope in ''IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology'', Electronic/ version, http://goldbook.iupac.org/A00243.html.
