Allotropes are different forms of the same element, where the atoms combine in different ways, so at the same temperature and pressure they can exist in different forms. The most striking allotropes are of carbon in the forms of diamond and graphite.

I believe it is a chemical element that exists in 2 or more different physical forms.
