There are various carbon allotropes.
For example: graphite and diamond.
Tetravalency of carbon:
The carbon atom is tetravalent because it has four shared electrons in its outermost shell, which it can use to create a stable electronic configuration. This gives the carbon atom a valency of four. One carbon atom is covalently bound to three other carbon atoms when one examines the structural makeup of graphite.Because the fourth electron of each carbon atom is unbound, graphite conducts electricity.As a result of the existence of free electrons in the structure, we may deduce that graphite is an excellent conductor of electricity.
