Allotropies

/əˈlɑt.rə.piz/ noun

Definition

Plural of allotropy; multiple instances or types of the phenomenon where elements exist in different physical forms.

Etymology

Regular plural of allotropy (noun), which comes from Greek 'allo-' (other) and '-trophy' (from tropos, turning). The term emerged in chemistry during the 1840s-1850s.

Kelly Says

Different elements show allotropies at different scales—oxygen has ozone (three atoms bonded together), while phosphorus has white, red, and black varieties, but the wildest part is that these aren't just different crystals, they're completely different molecules!
